Because of scandals from previous years no doubt.
The auctions for special celeb events. Debbie Flint broke the rules bid and won tea with Joan Collins for her best friend and admin of her Facebook group Back To You. Golden rule no employee is allowed to enter competitions for companies they work for(that includes auctions). The whole thing had to be cancelled, BCC lost the money and QVC did a cover up, DF might have go a tap on the wrist but otherwise continued as she always does.
Before that their was the missing Diamonique crown. Stratobuddy on here bid on it, suddenly the auction disappeared and nothing ever heard about it. Though it seems Julia Roberts said something about having it. But that could have been a joke no proof ever found.
