Bargain Hunt Star Faces Major Loss as Expert Left in Shock Over Auction Results

Peterborough: So, there was this episode of Bargain Hunt that aired recently. It featured a mother-daughter duo, Sunjit and Simran. They had expert Roo Irvine helping them out. They were at the Festival of Antiques with a budget of £300. They spent £210, leaving Roo with £90 for a mystery buy.

They picked up a few items, including a walnut overmantle mirror for £45. Simran thought it would be their big winner. But when the auction started, things took a turn. The mirror opened at just £10, and everyone was shocked. It ended up selling for only £18! Sunjit was really bummed out, saying, “Ah, that’s a big loss!”

Next up was the watch fob, which sold for the same £30 they paid. Not too bad, right? But then came the diamond ring, which they thought would sell for around £150. The auctioneer started the bidding at £100, but no one was interested. It finally sold for just £80, leaving Roo looking pretty upset.

Christina, the host, pointed out the £55 loss, and they were all wondering about Roo’s risky £5 ring. It sold for a measly £5, meaning they ended the show with a total loss of £82. Sunjit couldn’t believe it, saying, “Oh my god, that’s terrible, isn’t it?”

But here’s the twist: despite their losses, Sunjit actually came out on top because the blue team lost even more—£126! So, not the best day, but at least she had that to cheer her up.
