She has been a regular fixture on BBC ’s Antiques Roadshow programme since 1985 and also does some presenting herself on the channel’s spin-off show Antiques Road Trip.

Born in Lancashire in 1949, Margie initially pursued a career as a fashion model when she was a young woman, and regularly featured on the front covers of a number of magazines. But she always had a knack for the antiques trade, having learned it from her family.

Her grandmother was also an antiques dealer, and so she followed in her footsteps, eventually setting up her own antiques business which she has been running for over 30 years. A trained journalist, Margie would regularly write columns for publications about antiques, and soon enough she established herself as a TV personality.
