Antiques Road Trip sees the experts and contestants travel across the country as they buy and sell items in the hope of making a profit.

However, that didn’t go to plan during the latest episode.

It saw auctioneers Raj Bisram and Charles Hanson travel across Wales in a 1971 Volkswagen Campervan.

The pair picked up a number of products such as Victorian items, an African birthing chair and stylish inkwells.

Raj splashed out as he bought a Victorian bedpost that had been converted into a hat rack and the birthing chair.

The combined total cost of both pieces cost £330.

But unfortunately for Raj luck wasn’t on his side as the auction at Tring Market Acuctions got underway.

Both items failed to even fetch what he had initially paid for them, leaving him with a total loss of £122.

Commenting on his loss, his fellow companion Charles remarked: “Oh it’s popped out!”

Raj quickly but emotionally responded: “I think my eyes have just popped out and the tears are about to roll.”

There was further embarrassment for Raj as by the end of the episode he had just £184.32 in his kitty compared to £520.96.

Antiques Road Trip is available now on iPlayer.
