Antiques Road Trip host covered in grass during auction

Antiques Road Trip host Raj Bisram was covered in grass as co-star Charles Hanson threw "confetti" over him during Tuesday's episode.

The latest instalment saw the presenters tour Wales as they hunted for bargains in local shops and boutiques. They then travelled to Leominster to watch as their purchases were auctioned off.

With the two going head to head in a bid to make the most profit, things became animated as one of Raj's items soared in value.

A set of art deco wall lamps he bought for £50 went up and up as a bidding war ensued. As a bid of £190 came in, Charles said: "Oh Raj", to which he replied: "I can't help it".

Charles then threw a bunch of grass over his co-presenter, which he said was some congratulatory confetti. The lamps eventually sold for a huge £300, some six times what Raj paid for them.

At the end of the episode Charles had a total of £493.56, while Raj had £443.06, after auction costs. Charles said: "You've done really well, I haven't done as well, well done".

Raj replied: "Great auction, hopefully I have caught up a little bit".
