Neil Kinnock's Spitting Image puppet is put up for auction

Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock is up for sale - as fans are given the chance to buy his original Spitting Image puppet.

Latex figures of Lord Kinnock and his wife Glenys from the satirical TV show are being put up for auction.

Lord Kinnock, 74, was Labour leader from 1983 to 1992 when Spitting Image was watched by millions every Sunday night.

TV bosses exaggerated Kinnock's ginger hair, rosy cheeks and large mouth as they made him into a latex puppet.

They also gave the former Islwyn MP a double-chin, big teeth and wonky nose.

Auctioneers Rogers Jones and Co, based in Cardiff, expects them to fetch between £2000 and £3000 for the pair in the Welsh auction day on February 18.
