The BBC has revealed that Bargain Hunt is set to be involved in a major show shake-up after making a huge announcement on social media. 

Bargain Hunt’s official X account revealed that David Fergus and Serhat Ahmet have joined the team as the show’s brand new experts. 

Ceramics expert Serhat has over 30 years of antiquing experience and sources trades in 18th, 19th and 20th century porcelain – making him the perfect addition to the programme. 

The announcement read: ‘It’s a mᴀssive welcome [to] one of our new brilliant experts – it’s @SerhatAntiques! Welcome to the #BBCBargainHunt team, Serhat.

‘Catch Serhat’s first episode on Monday 14th April, when he’s shopping with his blue team in #Exeter.’

Sharing a video of Serhat, he introduced himself as he told fans: ‘I’m Serhat Ahmet. I’m from London and I’m a dealer in European porcelain.

‘I am really excited to be joining the Bargain Hunt expert team. What an honour. What a privilege!’ 

The other newbie Dave isn’t a stranger to the television world as he previously hosted Cash In The Attic with Jules Hudson. 

He’s classified as an auctioneer and studio glᴀss valuer. 

In a second post they marked Dave’s exciting news with the caption: ‘Please give a huge welcome to our other new expert on #BBCBargainHunt.

‘It’s @1davefergus! You can watch David’s first programme on #BankHoliday Monday 21st April when he guides his blue team in King’s Lynn.’

In the clip he said: ‘I’m a glᴀss collecting auctioneer and valuer from Staffordshire. 

‘I’m absolutely delighted to have been asked to join the Bargain Hunt team as one of the new experts.’ 

The much-loved programme, which sees teams buy items and try and sell for profit, hit our screens in 2000. 

The show took to Twitter to share the exciting announcement with fans

The duo will be joining a team of 19 other experts.

Some of those include Ben Cooper, Catherine Southon, Charles Hanson, Colin Young and Irita Marriott. 

Izzie Balmer, John Cameron, Jonathan Pratt, Kate Bliss and Mark Stacey also appear on the programme as experts. 

Nick Hall, Ochuko Ojiri, Philip Serrell, Raj Bisram, Richard Madley, Stephanie Connell, Thomas Forrester and Tim Weeks will be also be joining the newbies on the show.  

Bargain Hunt has run over 1875 episodes across 70 seasons. 

David Dickinson presented the show between 2000 and 2004. 

Tim Wonnacott fronted the programme between 2003 and 2016. 

And the past eight years have seen the team of experts host the series instead.

It comes after a volunteer on the show revealed a obstacle to filming you never see on the show but is a NIGHTMARE behind the scenes. 

The earlier part of the show often involves intense negotiations and frantic conversations with antique sellers as guests look to secure an early advantage by buying three items with a maximum of £300.

All is not as it seems, however, with the volunteer explaining the nightmare obstacle to filming that causes this sequence to drag on.

They said: ‘We had an hour that a runner has a stop watch to keep track of. Time was paused for retakes and interactions with the crew. 

Bartering actually happened but a lot of time was the crew interacting with vendors that did or did not want to be on camera.

‘Some of them didn’t want their stuff on camera too so we couldn’t buy it.’

Bargain Hunt airs on BBC.
