Anthea Turner faced some serious teasing after she tweeted a request to cancel an order – but forgot to include the name of the company.
The TV star was inundated with hilarious messages from people guessing what she had ordered, with sex toys, Cadbury’s Snowflakes, an ocelot, intimate female hygiene products and 300lb of ground beef on the list.
The trouble started when the 57-year-old posted a message on Twitter saying just: “I am trying to cancel my order made yesterday can you help?
“Order Number 78259.”
When eagle-eyed fans spotted the blunder, they started suggesting things she might have bought.
One said: “You can’t just cancel a Satantic-Rite starter set, Anthea. The Dark Lord has to be informed.”
YOU CAN’T JUST CANCEL A SATANIC-RITE STARTER SET, ANTHEA. THE DARK LORD HAS TO BE INFORMED.

“Sorry Anthea, orders made in the Lancashire Hotpots shop are legally binding,” joked another. “Those 100 copies of Never Mind The Hotpots are yours … cough up.”

Some people suggested Turner had ordered Cadbury Snowflake bars, poking fun at the bad publicity she and Grant Bovey received when wedding pictures showed them eating the chocolate.
“100 bars of @CadburyUK Snowflake bars? Are you getting married again?” teased one Twitter user.
