Bargain Hunt celebrity special for BBC Children in Need

The teams were filmed buying items for auction at an antique fair in West Sussex

A celebrity episode of the BBC's antiques gameshow Bargain Hunt is being filmed for BBC Children in Need.

TV auctioneer, Tim Weeks, will sell off 40 lots at Wessex Auction Rooms in Chippenham, Wiltshire, later.

Two teams of comedians will face each other in the episode, to be broadcast in November, to see who can raise the most money for Pudsey. The red team, featuring Russell Kane and Ignacio Lopez, will be up against Jo Caulfield and Stephen K Amos of the blue team.

The public can also bid for items including a pair of the iconic red and blue jackets signed by some of the show's presenters and experts, similar to those worn by Bargain Hunt contestants.

"It's such a dynamic event when the cameras are on, the lights are shining; it's an incredible experience that you just cannot miss when Children in Need and Bargain Hunt are in town.

"I can't wait, I'm buzzing," Mr Weeks told BBC Wiltshire.

Antiques experts Kate Bliss and Danny Sebastian, along with presenter Natasha Raskin Sharp, will be on hand to guide the teams towards securing the coveted Golden Gavel.

"We've got some amazing goodies and experiences. For me, as someone who was watching Bargain Hunt as a student, Philip Serrell is a legend," added Mr Weeks.

"You can bid to go around the Museum of Royal Worcester for the afternoon with him - he's such good value, he's so much fun."

The lots going under the hammer include VIP football experiences, tickets to Michael McIntyre's Big Show and a mock Albert Square street sign signed by the EastEnders cast.

The sale gets under way at Wessex Auction Rooms near Chippenham at 10:00 BST. Members of the public can also bid online for the teams' items via the Bargain Hunt website.

The episode will be broadcast on 14 November on BBC One during coverage of BBC Children in Need.
