BBC Bargain Hunt expert 'put in place' after row in antique store

A Bargain Hunt expert was "put firmly in his place" after he scolded a buyer on the show. It comes as Eric Knowles returned to front Tuesday's edition of the popular BBC programme.

Two more teams were given £300 and proceeded to browse an antique market in King's Lynn, Norfolk, to see who could make the biggest profit, reports Liverpool Echo. The blue team consisted of Lorna and Katrina, who were assisted by expert, Mark Stacey.

The buyers had an hour to find their items. But Mark was concerned when his first suggestion was shot down by Lorna because it was chipped.

Lorna continued to be unimpressed by the items at the antique market and was about to walk away from another antique, which prompted Mark to step in. He said: "No, we need to make decision. We've got to start making decisions."

Mark was relieved as the team eventually bought three items for £146 in the allotted time. He joked: "I knew we were going to have trouble the moment I met you. But it's a happy trouble."

Eric asked Mark if he needed "therapy" after the search as the expert responded: "Lorna has put me firmly in my place." The blue team eventually lost £3 when their items went to auction as the red team were announced as winners.
