Bargain Hunt star BBC star David Fergus has taken to social media to share an emotional farewell as he announces his "last episode". The expert, who appeared in four instalments of the popular antiques series this year, confirmed the final one will air this week, leaving fans feeling disheartened. David disclosed in a heartfelt tweet: "The last of my four episodes of Bargain Hunt is on at tomorrow lunchtime, can I avenge my defeat from the last episode. Either way it was a great experience with the wonderful [Caroline Hawley] and Charlie Ross." Following a surge of pleas from dismayed viewers imploring him not to depart, David responded: "I haven't filmed any more shopping episodes yet but I filmed a piece today to be inserted into a future episode." Supportive audience members raced to comment on the announcement, as one fan remarked: "Hopefully we will see more please as I think you're amazing!" Another supporter commented: "Will be watching, seeing more of you in future episodes we hope!" Having begun his venture into the world of antiques as a collector, David later transitioned into an auctioneer role at Richard Winterton Auctioneers where he excels in appraising art and studio glass, reports the Express. Sharing about his Bargain Hunt journey, David mentioned to BBC researchers spotted some of his social media videos for work which led to an invite to join the show, an opportunity he enthusiastically accepted. In the past, he's said: "someone on the Bargain Hunt team saw some social media videos I did for work and asked if I wanted to be part of the team. It didn't take me long to say yes!" He further commented: "Bargain Hunt has such appeal because we all want to find a bargain and quite often we see items on the show that we have in our homes or remember seeing in a relative's house. "We can feel the contestants' joy when they get a good result and feel for them when they have a loss. "The advice I would give to anyone wanting to get into the antiques business is be prepared to get dirty, because some of the items that come to us are filthy." He confessed that "life on the road" with the show provides him "the chance to see some lovely parts of the country I otherwise wouldn't have seen".

Colin Young the auctioneer in nice blue suit but when the hammer goes down the auctioneer is in shirt sleeves.'; 'Bargain Hunt is so predictable. Needs a total shake up.
