BBC Antiques Roadshow expert reveals moment guest stormed off after finding out item was fake
Antiques Roadshow expert Will Farmer. -Credit:Birmingham Mail BBC Antiques Roadshow expert Will Farmer has shared a memorable moment when a guest stormed off the set after discovering his supposed collectable item was a fake. The guest, who had brought a green glass bottle for appraisal, was left stunned by Will’s revelation and promptly exited the scene with his now worthless item. Regular viewers of the show are accustomed to seeing Will deliver life-changing news about the value of long-held family items. However, this incident served as a stark reminder of the potential pitfalls that come with the territory on the popular BBC programme. As reported by the Mirror, Will recalled in a recent interview: “A gentleman pulled this green glass bottle out of his bag and I looked at him and said, ‘What would you like to know? ‘ He said, ‘I want to check the date of it’ and I asked, ‘Are you a collector, have you inherited it? Where is it from? ‘ He mentioned he’d purchased it from an antique shop, so …

The actor, 38, starred as the main character in the popular family sitcom from 2000 to 2006, having been cast while he was 13 years old. Muniz is currently appearing on the Australian version of the reality series I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!. He recalled the fraught incident on Malcolm in the Middle to his fellow campmates on the latest episode. “There were two episodes I’m not in. I walked off the set,” said Muniz, who starred alongside Bryan Cranston, Jane Kaczmarek, Christopher Masterson, Justin Berfield and Erik Per Sullivan on the series. According to the actor, it was on-set tensions and the behaviour of “certain people” that had prompted him to leave. “Everyone was so afraid to stand up when certain …
five steps to understanding why MPs stormed out of Parliament during Gaza vote
Chaos engulfed the House of Commons on Wednesday February 21 when MPs representing the Conservatives and the Scottish National Party (SNP) stormed out of the chamber following a furious row over a debate on calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. The situation was complex but can be explained in five key moments. The main piece of business in the House of Commons on the day in question was an opposition day debate tabled by the Scottish National Party (SNP) calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. Opposition day debates are an opportunity for opposition parties to put issues that they care about onto the parliamentary agenda. There are 20 opposition days allocated per parliamentary year – 17 for the main opposition party (Labour) to set the agenda and three for the second opposition party (the SNP). The drama unfolded on an SNP day and the chaos was triggered by the wording of the motion put forward for debate by the SNP. This contained the phrase “collective punishment of the Palestinian people” and did not include a …
Carroll lawyer says Trump stormed out of deposition because his team agreed to feed her lunch
Attorney Roberta Kaplan, who has taken on several cases against former President Trump, says Trump once had an outburst because his legal team offered her lunch at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida during a deposition. “He said, ‘Well, you’re here in Mar-a-Lago. What do you think you’re going to do for lunch? Where are you going to get lunch?’” Kaplan, who represented Trump sexual assault accuser E. Jean Carroll, said during a podcast released this week. Kaplan said she told him that his legal team had “graciously” offered to provide her team lunch at the Palm Beach club that Trump calls home. “At which point there was a huge pile of documents, exhibits, sitting in front of him, and he took the pile and he just threw it across the table. And stormed out of the room,” Kaplan told podcast hosts George Conway and Sarah Longwell, both Republicans who are vocal Trump critics. Trump’s campaign didn’t immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comment. A jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million last week in a defamation …
The Beatles Stormed America in 1964. I Was With Them, Day and Night
John was anxious, though, like all the Beatles, about what to expect. Would the American media be tough on them? Or misconstrue something they said in an interview? Would demonstrators, because of all the press on hand, use the opportunity to stage some kind of protest? As the plane taxied in, John and I saw a mob lining the terminal rooftop. But it was a mob of fans, waving and screaming hysterically. They were being serenaded. You could hear the crowd singing, “She Loves You, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.” It was a lovefest. On the flight over, I’d proposed a photo idea, which the Beatles liked: I would be the fifth person off the plane, and as the band got halfway down the boarding stairs, they’d turn back and look at me—and I’d photograph them with the press, the crowd, and the New York skyline in the background. The picture would say, literally: Beatles come to America. But in my mind it also said: Benson got a picture no one else was in a position to …
Davina McCall Reveals Why She ‘Stormed Off’ Masked Singer Set
Davina McCall has revealed she was so shocked by one of the reveals on the new series of The Masked Singer that she had to leave the set. TV’s most chaotic guessing game is returning for a fifth series, which launches on Saturday night. Ahead of the new season, Davina revealed that over the course of the series, a celebrity that all of the panel knew personally was unmasked, although none of them managed to work out the mysterious star’s identity. “The funny thing was that all of us have met this one character. We were kicking ourselves,” she told The Sun. “They did very, very, very well in fooling us all. We all should have got them, all of us. No excuses, really.” Davina added: “I couldn’t help myself storming off when I saw who the person was. There have been many people on the show who I have met in passing, but this was a real friend, someone I have known for years. “It’s embarrassing. It was the greatest surprise I’ve ever had.” …
‘I thought we’d stormed the citadel, but we hadn’t’: Claudette Johnson on blazing a trail for Black artists – and the joy of reigniting her career | Art
There is a crackly tape recording of Claudette Johnson addressing Britain’s first ever Black Art Convention in Wolverhampton in 1982. It is one of those stray recovered moments in the national conversation that passing time has made electric. Johnson was 22, and her voice on the recording is tentative but spirited as she goes through slides of the new paintings she has been making as a student at the city’s polytechnic – mostly big, bold canvases of Black women – and sets them beside more familiar images from the canon of western art: Paul Gauguin’s “exotic” South Sea islanders, say, or Édouard Manet’s Olympia, in which a Black servant almost disappears into the shadows beside the spotlit white nude in the foreground. On the tape, Johnson’s small voice makes a determined case for the idea that what she was doing in her second-year fine art course in the Midlands had never been done before, at least in Britain. “Black women have been presented as people who did not have anything to offer in themselves but …
