Bargain Hunt using guest presenters after Tim Wonnacott has ‘bust-up’ with producers

Bargain Hunt is now using guests presenters after Tim Wonnacott reportedly had a bust-up with producers.

According to reports, the 62-year-old’s job in the programme is in jeopardy after a ‘bust-up’ with producers on Friday afternoon.

A source told The Sun: “Bargain Hunt comes across as a really upbeat and friendly show, but off camera there is a lot of tension.

"Tim is very old school and definitely not afraid of voicing his opinion. He can come very close to the line."

Wonnacott reportedly confirmed to the paper that he is no longer presenting the show.

He said: “I am not doing Bargain Hunt at the moment for personal reasons."

A BBC spokesperson told us: “Tim is not currently in production on Bargain Hunt and we are using guest presenters. We wouldn’t comment on individual staff matters.”

On Friday morning, Wonnacott tweeted a photo of himself outside the BBC studios ahead of a meeting with producers.
