Celebrity Antiques Road Trip star Rufus Hound was left gutted after his prosthetic hands display came in at a loss.
The bubbly comedian took on the Road Trip challenge as he competed against comedian Chris McCausland to discover who will make the most profit from their purchased antiques.
With both comedians starting off with £400 between them, the two men were tasked with ensuring they gained a profit or only a small loss from the antiques that they came across to later sell at auction.

But 44-year-old Rufus was left feeling shattered when his big money gamble on a set of World War II limbs didn’t quite hit the mark when sold at the auction house.
Rufus alongside his expert Ochuko Ojiri paid £380 for the figurine but was heartbroken when the item was sold for only £220.
Before the item was put up for sale, a confident Rufus said: “I’m always going to think this was the right choice.”
Ochuko replied: “I know this!”
Rufus continued: “Mate when we found that, right from the get go we were like ‘shall we? Yes then!'”
Ochuko then said to Rufus: “I want you to know I love you!”
But the pair’s excitement quickly came to a halt when they saw the sale crumbling before their eyes.
Ochuko then said: “It was a glorious dream wasn’t it,” to which Rufus replied: “It really was!”
Although Rufus had a promising start on the show and appeared to be winning the competition when his items went up for sale, it was Chris who only made a small loss and finished off with £340.30 which was donated to his chosen charity.
