And despite the fact that the giant rabbit was marked up at £80, Liv decided to ask her mum to buy him, to either add to her already bursting collection, or to resell for a profit as part of her mission to turn £15 into £500. "I was working from home and my mum FaceTimed me and said there's a couple of Jellycats in the charity shop," Liv explained in a video on her TikTok page. "I did not expect it to be this one. He is absolutely huge!" After researching the lemon Bashful Bunny, she discovered that he's "super rare" "All that I know is that the lemon Bashful Bunnies are discontinued and I can't find any of his size on eBay or Vinted or anything!" she added. "I'm currently sat here cuddling him and I'm really tempted to keep him," Liv added. "But if I was to sell him how much do you think I should list him for and what is he worth?" The comments section was almost immediately filled with people offering their suggestions, with one writing: "I personally think over £200 as a medium one sold on eBay for £105!" "Wow okay good to know! I'll try not get attached to him!" Liv replied. The five signs that your Jellycat is FAKE - and the things to look out for to authenticate a real one "How much did you pay for him?" another asked. With Liv responding: "£80 which is a lot but he's rare and retired!" "I remember one selling for over £250 a few years ago," a third wrote. "I just missed out of bidding so start high in auction I say!" "He's very rare, he was a John Lewis exclusive for Easter," someone else said. "Not sure what year." Why are Jellycats so popular? THEY were made for kids, but Jellycat toys remain incredibly popular with adults too. So just what is the appeal? The London-based company started making toys in 1999, and enjoyed success from the outset thanks to the fabrics used to make their plushies suitable for children of all ages. In recent years, they have branched out from making toys of various animals into turning virtually anything you can think of into a Jellycat. Their vegetable offerings, which range from broccoli to avocado, can help kids eat their greens. And even their April Fools - a toilet paper toy - was a hit with fans. Jellycat also has numerous celebrity fans, including Princess Charlotte, with a picture released in 2015 showing the royal with her Fuddlewuddle dog. The hefty price tag of the toys also promote the idea of luxury, and the value of the toys increases over time - meaning they are often a worthwhile investment. Jellycat releases two new collections a year - in January and in the summer, in either June or July. "I'm so jealous!!! I love him! He's amazing!! If you sell please let me know!!" another gushed. "He's amazing! Yeah I will do," someone else said.

Unpacking the Case Against Doctor Accused of Cliffside Attack on Wife
Originally appeared on E! Online Arielle Konig set off for a hike on Oahu with her anesthesiologist husband on March 24. And after they had posed for a photo at the edge of the 1,000-foot Nu'anu Pali Lookout, which offers sweeping views of the windward side of the island, Dr. Gerhardt Konig tried to kill his wife, according to Honolulu prosecutors. The 36-year-old mother of two was found along the Pali Puka trail near the lookout spot with multiple head and facial injuries, according to a March 28 news release announcing that a grand jury had indicted Gerhardt, 46, on a charge of attempted murder. He is accused of hitting Arielle in the head with a rock multiple times after first trying to push her off a cliff, per the release. Gerhardt fled the scene but was arrested later that same night following a foot pursuit near Nuuanu Pali Drive, prosecutors said. Defense attorney Thomas Otake told E! News that Gerhardt plans to plead not guilty to attempted murder at his arraignment scheduled for April 7 and had no further comment at this time. Bail was initially set at $5 million but, in the wake of the indictment, Gerhardt was remanded and remains in custody at O'ahu Community Correctional Center, according to prosecutors. Once she was with the police, she said she learned her husband had FaceTimed her adult stepson. 'Gerhardt was observed to be covered in blood,' she said in the petition. 'Gerhardt said 'I just tried to kill Ari but she got away.'' She additionally stated that her stepson told her that his father wanted to kill himself by jumping off a cliff. He was instead arrested by Honolulu police officers, who had set up a large search area for him near the Pali Lookout. Arielle Konig's attorney Brandon Segal told Hawaii News Now in a statement on Friday: 'Arielle is focusing on her recovery at home in Maui with the support of her family. She kindly asks that the media and the public respect their privacy during this time.' More from E! Online Tom Hanks' Daughter E.A.
