Although the red thong worn in The Full Monty in 1997 garnered applause in the film, it seems that it has diminished in popularity as it failed to sell in a Hollywood prop auction. On Tuesday, Robert Carlyle's co-star Mark Addy's red thong was up for auction along with other popular props, but it wasn't the only one that didn't sell. Carlyle and his crew of steelworkers stripped off the underwear in a scene that was supposed to be a popular item in the Hollywood prop auction. However, although the controversial Titanic door prop and Indiana Jones' whip raised hundreds of thousands at the auction of props owned by Planet Hollywood, the red satin thong did not sell.

Hugo Speer, who was little less than a year ago, was enjoying a full life. He had a blissfully happy wife Vivienne, two wonderful daughters, Nico, now ten, and six-year-old Elki, and a wonderful family home in leafy North London, where children would leap over fences to play in each other's gardens. Hugo, a retired steel worker from Sheffield, was filming The Full Monty television drama for a hefty sum, with his Monty companions Robert Carlyle, Mark Addy, Paul Barber, Steve Huison, Lesley Sharp and Tom Wilkinson, 25 years after they made the wonderful original film about six unemployed steel workers from Sheffield, who formed a striptease group. However, this blessed life was marred last year when Hugo was barred from 'inappropriate behaviour' during filming in Manchester. His crime? He is struggling to understand it. Hugo was suspended for being caught undressed in the privacy of his own trailer while changing after a day of filming.
