Woman whose boyfriend thought he'd bagged a bargain after buying a sofa for £30 from Argos is left furious after realising it's a DOLL'S HOUSE couch

• Mix-up shared on Twitter in exchange between British friends Melissa and Priya
• Melissa was at first over-joyed at the £30 bargain before she realised the mistake
• Despite crossed wires, her boyfriend was soon hailed a 'hero' on social media

A woman who entrusted her boyfriend to buy furniture for their new flat was left furious after a sofa he ordered turned out to be for a doll's house.

Melissa thought her partner Kieran had bagged the deal of the century when he found the L-shaped design on Argos while she was busy working night shifts. 

She shared a photo of the couch with her friend Priya, a doctor from the Midlands who now lives in Wales. Stunned by its cheap price, Priya looked it up online - and then broke the bad news by sending her a link to the toy. 

The hilarious mix-up was shared by Priya on Twitter, with accompanying screenshots of their text exchange.

Melissa messaged her friend to share progress on her home renovations - but her sofa deal was too good to be true - literally

She captioned it: 'When people ask me why I don’t want to be in a relationship - I will now be using this conversation with a friend as part of my case...'.

Melissa initially messaged her friend to share progress on her home renovations, revealing: 'Getting furniture slowly... Kieran bought a sofa from Argos for £30!!!'

Priya shared her amazement before Melissa sent a picture of the bargain, adding: 'Being delivered tomorrow.'

But all was not as it seemed as her friend soon shared a link and wrote: 'Mel, you do know that's for a doll don't you? It's for a kid's doll's house. You must have known that! It doesn't even look like a proper sofa!'

An exasperated Melissa promptly replied: 'I've been on nights. I'm gonna kill him.'
