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”.
Bargain Hunt is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
