Bargain Hunt viewers were left irritated by contestants once again after a disappointing show. BBC fans fumed at the red team over their poor selection of items and the bleak return they made.

The red team consisted of Hashem, a Scientist, and Behnoosh, a Maths Teacher, who were led by antiques expert Thomas Forrester. He is a firm favourite among watchers thanks to his valuable knowledge of the business.

They were tasked to find “an item connected to water”. After a difficult quest, they finally managed to eventually grab some items to put up for sale.

It was a painful hour-long search, but they opted for hand-painted puppies worth £28, a siphon for £88 and a silver jewellery box costing £90. This brought their total spend to £206, leaving £94 left over from their budget.

After heading to the auction, the guests just about scraped a profit. The team walked away with only £4, which left them feeling deflated.

But it wasn’t the disappointing profit that got people talking, it was the behaviour of the team as they got caught up with “auction fever”.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, users hit out at their behaviour in the auction room.

One user wrote: “Why do people suddenly lose all dignity when they put a red fleece jacket on #bargainhunt”.

Expert Charlie Ross was forcing them to ‘shush’ as fans switched channels minutes into the programme.

Another said: “She’s driving me mad #BargainHunt.” @davies2107 added: “How annoying is she #bargainhunt.”

Meanwhile a third chimed in and said: “@BBCBargainHunt one of those annoying episodes where you can hear contestants screaming in the sale room. #BargainHunt.”

“Crikey. She’s a bit annoying. #BargainHunt.” @Beckie_Miller_ asked: “Are these buyers on drugs? #BargainHunt,” penned a fourth.

Another added: “An outbreak of auction fever #BargainHunt,” before saying: “She’s driving me mad #BargainHunt”.

Bargain Hunt airs on BBC One at 12:15 pm during the week.
