Bargain Hunt viewers raged ‘this show needs a total shake-up’ as they branded the BBC series ‘utter drivel’ and called for the host to be axed.
Monday’s instalment of the daytime BBC show saw two teams try their best to find hidden treasures at an antiques centre in King’s Lynn.
Experts David Fergus and Caroline Hawley featured on the programme, alongside auctioneer Charlie Ross.
However, as the show went on to reveal how the red and blue teams were doing, some viewers began to feel frustrated.
Many took to social media and complained about how they felt Bargain Hunt had become ‘predictable’.

One posted on X: ‘Just sat down at home to have some lunch with the wife before moving on to my next job and she’s watching Bargain Hunt on @BBC – I cannot believe that utter drivel is still going and it’s not changed since it first started!’;
‘The epitome of boredom is a wet bank holiday Monday watching Bargain Hunt.’;

‘@BBCBargainHunt love this programme but editing a bit off today. 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. Get rid of Charlie Ross would be first #bargainhunt.’
During the instalment, both teams ended up making losses.
The Red Team purchased a typewriter, dinner-service china and a brooch from Norway.
While the Blue Team bought a vase, a vintage football game and silverware.
The Reds won with a loss of £40, beating the Blues £58 loss.
It comes after a shake-up announcement was made last month and revealed the show would be getting two new experts – David Fergus and Serhat Ahmet.
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.’
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.’
Bargain Hunt airs on BBC One and is available to stream on iPlayer.
