What did David Fergus say?
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, on 15 June, David wrote: "The last of my four episodes of Bargain Hunt is on at tomorrow lunchtime, can I avenge my defeat from the last episode. Either way it was a great experience with the wonderful [Caroline Hawley] and Charlie Ross."

What did David say about working on Bargain Hunt?
When asked about how he came to his role on Bargain Hunt, David told the BBC he got spotted by a member of the team after they saw "some social media videos I did for work". When he was asked to join the show, David quickly accepted.

We can feel the contestants’ joy when they get a good result and feel for them when they have a loss."
"I would encourage anyone to apply to appear on Bargain Hunt because it’s an iconic show and great fun to do. Come and prove that you really are better than the experts."
Bargain Hunt continues to air on BBC One and is available to stream on iPlayer.
