A Bargain Hunt contestant saw red and ‘strangled’ an antiques expert after making a £115 loss on the latest episode of the BBC programme.
Monday’s show (September 12) welcomed close friends Steve and Bill as the red team.
They were advised by antiques expert Charles Hanson to purchase a golf-embossed Vesta case – used to hold matches in Edwardian times – which was hallmarked for Birmingham from the year 1906.

Despite being priced at £220 at the showground, the red team purchased the item for £195.

It was later sold at auction for a measly £80, with Steve seeing red and strangling the expert for steering them wrong.
As the Vesta case was presented by the auctioneer, Bill voiced his concerns that it wasn’t drawing in the offers they had expected the item to go for.
He said: “It’ got to go up by a lot.”

Using golf-related puns, an uncomfortable Charles replied: “It’s not teeing off.
“We’re in the rough, gents. We’re in the rough.”
After it was made official that the Vesta case had been purchased for £80, Bargain Hunt presenter Natasha Raskin Sharp said: “Gents, it’s sore.
“It’s a hammer price of £80 and it’s a loss for you of £115.”

Shaking his head and putting his hands on his hips, Steve then jokingly grabbed Charles by the throat with both hands.
The alarmed expert replied: ‘It wasn’t the hole in one I was hoping for OK?”
Following their lack of fortune with the Vesta case, Bill and Steve opted to try and sell their bonus buy.
It wasn’t enough, however, as the episode was later won by the blue team with a profit of £18.
They were led by antiques expert David Harper
