A recent episode of Bargain Hunt filmed here in the South West of England has been dubbed an 'absolute scandal' by viewers, after a disqualified item made a profit at auction. The BBC One show saw the famous red and blue teams take to Exeter's Westpoint Arena in the March 4 instalment.
As part of the show, host Natasha Raskin Sharp issued both teams with the task of finding an item which matched a certain criteria, Devon Live reports. Mother and son duo Ann and James - on the blue team - had to find a maritime object, while friends Lisa and Helen on the red team were challenged with finding an agricultural object to take to auction.
The blues managed to buy a menu holder from a shipping liner for £70, while the reds opted for what they believed to be a mole spade, which cost them £18. It was thought by the team and their expert Philip Serrell that the object they had bought was a spade used for digging out moles, fitting with their agricultural task.
