Antiques Roadshow guest stunned as Fiona Bruce tells them to ‘get out’ after botched valuation
AN Antiques Roadshow guest was told to ‘get out’ by Fiona Bruce on the latest episode as the show almost broke out into chaos.
The BBC One programme was taking place in Sefton Park, Liverpool when Fiona made the stunning remark.
It all came about when the guest in question attempted to help Fiona out in the show’s weekly Basic, Better, Best item.
Fiona is presented with three items by one of the show’s expert and tasked with figuring out which item fits into which category.
A basic item is often cheap or of no significant value, a ‘better’ item is more mid-range but still not regarded as a stand-out piece where as the ‘best’ item often carries a hefty price tag and cultural significance.
Watching on as Fiona looked at three vases created from 1900 to 1920, one guest chimed in and offered her thoughts, however it quickly went all wrong.
The lady in question said that expert Eric was “throwing her off the scent”, by speaking about one particular item too much.
She then declared which category she believed all three fitted with as Fiona loosely agreed and later told the onlooker it was ‘on her’.
Shockingly, Eric insisted they had it all wrong as the item that they thought was the most expensive actually turned out to be basic.
An open-mouthed Fiona gasped before she turned to the onlooker and quipped: “Right, out, out! Get out!”
Snapping back, the guest said: “Buy that Fiona for your house!”
Expert Eric then also had a cheeky dig as he added: “If it makes you feel any better, I’m not in the least bit smug.”
