Bargain Hunt: Presenter speechless over huge profit
Bargain Hunt has been given a huge format shake-up ahead of the 2024 Olympics.
BBC bosses have commissoned a special one-off episode of the popular show which will see sporting legends go head-to-head in two seperate teams at the antiques fair.
Sally Gunnell OBE and Mark Foster make up the red team and they'll take on Paralympian Dame Sarah Storey and Richard Wihtehead MBE for the blue team.
Both teams will be coached by Kate Bliss and Danny Sebastian as they sprint around the antiques fair in Nottinghamshire for a special one-off episode.
They'll have to snap up three items they think will make a profit at auction but in a new twist, one must meet a special sporting challenge as set down by show bosses.

Speaking to The Sun about the special episode, host Natasha Raskin Sharp said: "This was such a brilliant episode of Bargain Hunt to be part of, absolutely chock full of incredible sports people.
"We knew of course that our teams of athletes had the mental fortitude and skill to compete at the Olympics and Paralympics, but we wanted to see how they’d fare.. at the fair!
"We upped the ante at the Bargain Hunt Games and the athletes took it as seriously as we hoped they would. There was drama, there was competitiveness, there were profits and losses. It’s a classic!"
