Bargain Hunt fans couldn’t’ believe the reaction of one woman on the show after her husband splashed out on an orange peeler.
The couple were at Ardingly Antiques Fair in West Sussex, where presenter Natasha Raskin Sharp and experts David Harper and Raj Bisram were helping teams find valuable items for auction.
In a surprise twist, David presented a bonus buy – a mother of pearl and silver orange peeler from 1929. As it went under the hammer, the auctioneer encouraged bids up to £50. When a bid of £60 came in, the team cheered while Natasha shouted: “Yes yes yes!” as the price rose.

The auctioneer egged on the bloke, saying: “I know you want this in your life, go on! £60 it is, it will make David’s day… £70 yes!”

“£70 it is, at £70! Any advance at £70 I have. It’s a room bidder at £70 once, its a room bidder at £70 twice, please come back because it is a fabulous item.”
“Your orange peeler sold to you sir,” but his missus didn’t look too chuffed with his new buy.

But it was smiles all round for the bargain hunters as Natasha told David and his crew: “Ok nice! Well David has just added £20 to your running total!”
When the hubby splashed out £70 on an orange peeler, viewers who were watching had a right laugh on X, formerly Twitter. One joked: “His Mrs is definitely calling him a f*****g idiot under her breath #bargainhunt.”

“He’ll never use the bloody thing #Bargainhunt”, another cracked up. A third said: “Well the experts have redeemed themselves then #bargainhunt.”
And someone else chipped in: “That orange peeler was a rogue buy… not sure his wife was too impressed with his decision.”
