SIT back and relax in your garden with this stunning egg chair from B&M - and it's a bargain too. It costs £150 - much cheaper than similar chairs from rival chains like Wayfair, Argos and Wilko. Plus, even Mrs Hinch - aka Instagram cleaning sensation Sophie Hinchcliffe - is on the look out for one. Yesterday, she posted an Instagram story telling her millions of followers that she wants a rattan hanging egg chair for her garden.
