Jarvis Cocker and Bez are set to appear on a special episode of ‘Bargain Hunt’.
The Pulp musician and the Happy Mondays rocker will feature in a one-off episode of the popular daytime TV show to mark BBC Music Day on September 28th.

She wrote on Twitter: "BBC News just announced that the show that Bez & I have been working on is a BBC Music Day – Bargain Hunt Special with Jarvis & Candida from Pulp.
The programme will air in September!

The 50-year-old pop princess said: "I truly believe in the power of music to bring joy and lift the soul.
"Hopefully my little messages for train passengers will be a nice surprise and a reminder of the power of music."
Speaking about the BBC event – which is in its fourth year – the director of BBC Music, Bob Shennan said: "The UK is truly a nation of music lovers.
"BBC Music Day aims to bring the nation together to celebrate this, from pop and rock to classical and choirs and everything in between. There really is something for everyone to enjoy!"
