Bbc antiques road trip experts clash in heated 'fix' row at auction

Tensions ran high in a recent episode of Antiques Road Trip as Catherine Southon squared off with Charles Hanson during an intense auction. A past outing from the BBC show had seen the pair

embark on a treasure-seeking journey across Sussex, venturing from Storrington to Peacehaven. However, the stakes escalated in Kent when 46 year old Charles stirred some controversy, with

Catherine suggesting he might have arranged for people to bid on his antiques, reports the Express. Narrator Tim Wonnacott heightened the suspense with his commentary: "Here comes

Charles' final lot. The black forest desk stand." When bidding kicked off at £100 for Charles' item—something he snagged for £75—Charles couldn't hide his delight,

enthusiastically yelling: "Hello! Hello! Come on, come on." Catherine's response was laced with irony as she advised: "I think you should take that and run!" As the

bidding reached new heights, we heard Catherine exasperatedly gasp: "What?". Charles, caught in the thrill, cheered: "Hold tight baby. Sorry." Catherine seemed less than

pleased as she witnessed her colleague's success, questioning: "Are you paying these guys?". Regardless of Catherine's comments, Charles maintained his infectious

excitement: "Hold tight baby. Hello internet. America's calling. It's the American dream. Hello America. Come on America." Surprised at the continued surge in bids,

Catherine remarked, "How do you? Charlie! I'm amazed," only to see the price peak at £190. But it didn't stop there, as a boisterous Charles reacted: "Baby hold

tight. It's a funny old game. Sorry Catherine. Keep going! Come on America. Go on! Sold £250. Thank you very much. I can't believe it." After enduring the entire auction,

Catherine lightheartedly remarked to her colleague: "I think I need a kiss for that." Charles has resumed his role on Bargain Hunt following a hiatus due to his arrest on domestic

violence charges last year. However, he was back on screen in a segment shortly after being fully acquitted of coercive control and assault charges concerning his wife Rebecca. The Flog It!

presenter vehemently denied all accusations, asserting that he was the actual victim in their private life. Speaking outside the court, the television personality expressed his relief to the

press: "I'm delighted that after a year and a half the truth has finally come out. I can finally live my life again." He continued, sharing his sense of liberation: "I

feel this burden has finally been lifted. It has been a tormentous time and all I want now is to readjust to what has been such an ordeal. I am so relieved that this is all over." _GET
