Bargain Hunt fans rage they ‘need paracetamol’ as ‘shouty’ contestants cause havoc – forcing host to silence them
FANS of Bargain Hunt “turned over” within minutes due to “noisy” and “excitable” contestants.
Thursday’s episode of Bargain Hunt caused viewers to criticise the red team for being too loud and “shouty”, causing presenter Charlie Ross to shush the contestants.
The 72-year-old antiques expert and auctioneer was accompanied by two pairs of contestants in search of bargain items in North Wales.
However, within minutes of the episode’s start, viewers joked that they needed “some paracetamol and a mute button” due to the boisterous behavior of mother and daughter duo, Denise and Giselle.
Richard Madley’s red team was assigned the challenge of finding a domestic item, and as Charlie handed them the cash, he commented on their noisiness.
Throughout their search, fans continued to complain about the loud personality of the mother-daughter duo, and some even found the episode difficult to watch.
Taking to Twitter, one viewer said: “@bargain hunt Oh I see we’ve got a SHOUTY red team, annoying.”
Another wrote: “Memo to the #BargainHunt casting director: there is such a thing as *too much* personality. Never have on anyone like the Red Mum ever again please. This episode is such a hard watch.”
A third penned: “Charlie: “And what else do you need?” A mute button for the annoyingly loud mother on the red team please!”
This comes after presenter Natasha Raskin Sharp urged viewers to check their lofts after a dusty attic yielded a £400,000 antique during a recent episode.
The 36-year-old, unveiled the “ultimate Bargain Hunt find,” which turned out to be a rare Chinese wine ewer.
Auctioneer Charles Hanson described the yellow floral piece as “very sacred, very important, and very rare,” adding that it would have been used to hold water in the court of Emperor Qianlong during the 18th century as a ceremonial ewer.
Initially believed to be worth only £150, the porcelain pot had been brought back from Japan by the owner’s grandfather in the 1940s and had been sitting in the owner’s loft for over 50 years without their knowledge.
The expert further disclosed that the ewer was one of only three known to exist, with the other two being held in museums in Taiwan and Beijing.
After the expert valued the piece at £150,000, it was eventually sold at auction for a staggering £390,000.
Bargain Hunt airs weekdays from 12.15pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
