Bargain Hunt fans were furious after an off-camera incident nearly dashed a team's hopes on the BBC show. In the latest episode, performing duo Ivor and Joe teamed up and presented a haul of items they'd found at a Lincolnshire antiques centre.

It included a delightful Old English Sheepdog sculpture. Concluding their frantic hour-long search for treasures, they admitted they 'loved' the dog statue, which they managed to snag for £75 following some negotiation.

It was their priciest purchase, and expert Catherine Southon thought it could fetch a profit with the right buyer.

"Next up is your Beswick dog.

Actually, the issue is the fact that the tongue on your dog has taken a little bit of a chip," he explained. Eric told the crestfallen duo that the damage occurred while the dog was 'in transit.' The figure had initially been valued at £40 to £60 before the mishap, reports the Liverpool Echo.
