BBC's Antiques Roadshow heartbreak for guest told £250,000 statue is worth just £150

This is the moment a guest on BBC One's Antiques Roadshow was left heartbroken after being told a statue - thought to be worth £250,000 - was actually only worth just £150.

The news was broken to the owner when antique expert Ronnie Archer-Morgan gave his verdict on a figure from the Kota tribe from Gabon, south of Nigeria, which was brought in by a member of the public, reports The Mirror.

The expert was initially very excited at seeing the antique. He said: "When you unwrapped this, my heart really skipped a beat because it's one of my favourite tribal African figures."
