Bargain Hunt: The Spotter's Guide to Antiques

Product Information

That is REALLY difficult. I have made so many great contestant friends and there have been so many! I will never forget my team of Olympians though, after the 2012 Olympics. They were the most competitive team I think I have ever had. I try not to anymore! I used to collect loads… football programmes, toys, vinyl, ceramics, but I tend to spend my money on the kids instead of me these days. The antiques broker, who also makes appearances on shows such as Cash in the Attic and Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, followed up his initial message to thank his fans for their tweets of support. My favourite part of being a Bargain Hunt expert is just being a part of the amazing BH team. It is a dream come true! Sometimes, I look at the contestants standing next to me in the blue or red fleeces, and I just want to run around kissing everyone and shouting, “I’m on Bargain Hunt!” Lala shares her mother's passion for antiques with the mother and daughter duo having set up their own auction house together.

Anita explained: "But fate put the opportunity in my path and being an adventurous sort of gal I changed direction and set up Great Western Auctions with my daughter Lala in Glasgow in 1989, becoming one of Scotland's first woman auctioneers." When the Bargain Hunt star was asked if he collects anything, he said: "Arms and armour, of course, Georgian glass, Georgian silver, books, netsuke, watches, the next thing I’m going to obsess over...Rounders in the park, pitch-and-putt at the golf course, walking in the Lakes, hi-jinks at the pool, that’s happy me. Oh, and cooking."
