He is presently an auctioneer, as well as a valuer of modern art, decorative, and studio glass at Richard Winterton Auctioneers.

David Fergus, the antique dealer, has gained recognition as an expert on BBC’s Bargain Hunt, which is hosted by Charlie Ross. He became a part of the Bargain Hunt team in April 2025. The show’s official X (formerly Twitter) account announced David, along with Serhat Ahmet, as the latest additions to the team of experts.

The post read: “Please give a huge welcome to our other new expert on #BBCBargainHunt. It’s @1davefergus! You can watch David’s first programme on #BankHoliday Monday 21st April when he guides his blue team in King’s Lynn.”

David expressed his excitement about joining the Bargain Hunt team, saying in the clip: “I’m a glass collecting auctioneer and valuer from Staffordshire. I’m absolutely delighted to have been asked to join the Bargain Hunt team as one of the new experts. I look forward to seeing you all out on the road. Happy hunting!”.

David got involved in Bargain Hunt after “someone on the Bargain Hunt team saw some social media videos I did for work and asked if I wanted to be part of the team. It didn’t take me long to say yes!”

Speaking about the show’s appeal, David told the BBC: “Bargain Hunt has such appeal because we all want to find a bargain and quite often we see items on the show that we have in our homes or remember seeing in a relative’s house. We can feel the contestants’ joy when they get a good result and feel for them when they have a loss.”
