75,000 people queue for hours to get Aldi's latest SpecialBuy

The hanging egg chair is the latest SpecialBuy that 75,000 Aldi shoppers are trying to get their hands on for the sunny weather that is due this week.

Aldi's hanging egg chair made headlines a few weeks ago, when it first hit the website, leaving 19,000 shoppers waiting up until around 1.30am to try and get their hands on one.

But the Liverpool ECHO reports that shoppers who missed out on the SpecialBuy the first time had another chance to bag one of the chairs over the weekend - and the queues were even longer.

The Hanging Egg Chair went back online on Sunday (June 21) in a new design that is big enough for two people, priced at £199.99.

Pre-orders opened at midnight, with the virtual queue extending to 74,580 with the wait time frozen on 'more than an hour'.

There was also one report of the furniture set being re-listed on eBay for more than £1,000.
