BBC Antiques Roadshow guest shocked as classic children's item gets jaw-dropping valuation

An guest was left stunned by the value of her rare Winnie the Pooh book on the BBC show.

Hosted by Fiona Bruce, the long-running programme has been a British television staple since the late 1970s, known for surprising guests with the value of their antiques.

A recent episode was no exception, as the guest brought in a rare Winnie the Pooh book, which caught the expert's attention.

Expert Clive Farahar examined the item and said: "It is or isn't it a first edition?" He then continued, "Let's look at the back here - a first edition from 1926."

He asked the guest: "Tell me about this. Where did it come from?" The guest explained, "I'd ask my mother, you know, with the grandchildren, as she was going around the charity shops."

Farahar responded: "Oh, she's a great charity shop person, is she?"

The guest smiled and said: "Yes, she was. She got me a few books, and they've been in the house. I didn't really take much notice of it until I got my daughter a Winnie the Pooh teddy. And then I thought, 'I'm sure I've got one somewhere.' And then I came across this."

Farahar, clearly impressed, replied: "This is an absolute wonderful find from the charity shop. The dust wrapper's a little torn, but it's mostly all there."

When asked how much they paid for it, the guest said, "20p or 30p." The expert then declared: "I'm going to value it at £1,400."

Shocked, the guest said: "Sorry, seriously?" Adding with excitement: "My mother would be over the moon because she loved this programme."

Elsewhere on the show, another guest was left stunned by the huge value of her rare items.

A mother-and-daughter duo presented an unusual ballerina-shaped brooch to expert Joanna Hardy, which immediately caught her attention. According to the jewellery specialist, she suspected it could be a piece by Van Cleef and Arpels, with a potentially enormous value,

Joanna explained: "If it's genuine, it could be worth tens of thousands of pounds." While the daughter was thrilled, saying: "Oh my gosh," the mother was more skeptical, responding: "Can't be."
