Bargain Hunt host Christina Trevanion issued a stern warning to the contestants in Wednesday’s (January 22) episode.
The repeat episode of the antiques show saw the team head to the historic city of Peterborough, where a group of contestants were ready to go bargain hunting at the East of England Showground.
Mother and daughter duo, Sunjit and Simran, and couple Tom and Claire, were so excited to get started that they began peeking at the prices of the items before the time had started.
As Christina arrived to begin the show, she exclaimed: “I can see you peeking! Stop that right now!” with the participants quickly averting their eyes from the antiques in front of them.

With the help of expert Roo Irvine, Sunjit and Simran spent £210 on an overmantle, a fob chain, and a diamond ring. Meanwhile, Tom and Claire invested in a pair of globe biscuit tins, a pair of brass candlesticks, and a mahogany writing box.
Despite their loss of £82, Sunjit and Simran were the overall winners of the episode, as Tom and Claire finished with minus £126.
As well as hosting Bargain Hunt, Christina is also a partner in the auctioneer and valuer firm Trevanion & Dean, which is based in Shropshire.
Christina is a regular, known for appearing on Antiques Road Trip, Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is and Flog It! She has also presented The Travelling Auctioneers, alongside The Repair Shop’s Will Kirk and JJ Chalmers.

Christina previously revealed that being part of the Bargain Hunt presenting team is a “complete honour” and “privilege”, adding: “The show is a national and international institution, and to be a very small part of the history of that is very exciting.”
“My favourite part of the role is meeting our wonderful contestants. They’ve already been through quite a long process to get to a filming day, so to see their excitement is incredibly touching – sometimes the excitement levels are akin to children on Christmas morning!” the presenter continued.
On why Bargain Hunt is so beloved among fans, Christina said: “I think viewers enjoy watching the genuine friendship and camaraderie between the teams, the experts and the presenter. It’s a fun watch and you may happen to learn something along the way too – what’s not to love?”
“Life’s about making memories and having fun, and filming Bargain Hunt is a lot of fun,” she concluded.
Bargain Hunt airs weekdays at 12.15pm on One
