The stars of two popular BBC shows have descended on Wiltshire to film a special episode of Bargain Hunt.
On Thursday, July 11, hosts of Escape to The Country took on their counterparts from Homes Under The Hammer in a bid to raise money for Children in Need.
The contestants for this year’s Bargain Hunt celebrity special were Jacqui Joseph and Martin Roberts on the blue team and Nicki Chapman and Briony May Williams on the red team.
They spent the day at the Wessex Auction Rooms near Chippenham, where the episode was filmed.

Hosting the show was Christina Trevanion while regular Bargain Hunt antiques expert Tim Weeks was on gavel duties for the day.
The teams were joined by antiques experts Thomas Forrester and Irita Marriott.
Numerous items were auctioned off over the course of the morning, including a Bargain Hunt jacket which was sold for £130, and a Pudsey Bear soft toy.
In total, over £16,000 was raised for Children in Need during the event, which was open to members of the public.
The BBC has said these funds will be used to support “children and young people to thrive and be the very best they can be”.
