An unusual item on Antiques Road trip came with a secret that surprised the show's expert.
Ishy Khan was on the hunt for trinkets he thought he could make a profit on when they were sold at auction. He arrived at a cosy corner store housing an array of unusual items but a small brass pig is what caught his attention.
Nestled in its own cushioned box, Ishi inspected it but found the pig's belly held a surprise. He said: "If you look at the bottom, there's a little metal pull out and there's a fabric tape measure, hidden in this little piggy's belly.

"The best part is if you turn it around and twist his corkscrew tail the tape measure retracts." Despite the item's unique features, Ishi wasn't convinced it would turn a profit due to the store's steep asking price.
He added: "If this was £30 - £40, I think I would go for it but at £75 I think it might be a little bit hard to make a decent profit little."
His attention then turned to a strongly decorated accordion and vintage lock and key but both of his items came in at a loss in today's auction.
