BBC Bargain Hunt shake-up as new Scots presenter joins show as fan favourites are dumped

The BBC has decided to freshen up Bargain Hunt with some new presenters.

The reality game show, which has been fronted by the likes of Eric Knowles and Charlie Ross for years, is set to welcome Scots Antiques expert Roo Irvine as well as Danny Sebastian and Caroline Hawley.

However, show veterans such as Natasha Raskin Sharp and Christina Trevanion are not being replaced but the original four presenters will continue to grace our screens.

Viewers can expect to see all seven faces taking turns hosting the popular programme. The BBC One show sees two teams go head-to-head at car boot sales, each trying to find items that will make the most profitable sale and crown them the winner.

The show was originally hosted by David Dickinson between 2000 and 2003, the Express reports.

Tim Wonnacott famously took over until 2015, but left fans heartbroken when he stepped down from the iconic role.

It was reported at the time that he would no longer host Bargain Hunt due to personal reasons, following an alleged disagreement with producers.

Since then, a series of well-known figures in the antiques industry have taken the helm of the flagship show. Despite the new presenters having previously appeared on the show, this will be the first time they take the lead.

Roo, 44, whose first episode is set to air on Monday, expressed: "I'm loving every second of it. Bargain Hunt has such a happy, chilled vibe and that's down to the contestants and the crew.

He further added: "It's like a big family. They say 'do what you love and you'll never do a day's work again' that is definitely me.

"On the other hand, Danny, who will take over hosting duties later this month, described the role as a "dream come true".

Known for his knack for upcycling and repurposing, as well as hunting down valuable collectables, Danny often gets viewers buzzing online with his humorous one-liners.

He shared: "I'm absolutely over the moon, it's beautiful really. I always thought I'd love to do this job, I'm so extremely fortunate to be given the opportunity".
