This eventually developed into the chart-topping video Emmerdance

Hammond and Portelli both left bid-up.tv in August 2004, her to join the new shopping channel Express Shopping. But she left after a few short months to join the newly created iBuy shopping channel in early 2005, which was created by long time friends and ex-Auction World.tv employees Andy Sheldon and Adam Freeman
