Meet the experts of Dickinson's Real Deal
The long-running ITV show recently lost one of its experts – but here's everyone who's still on the show.
When you think of daytime TV, one of the first shows to come to mind is Dickinson's Real Deal – the antiquing show hosted by David Dickinson which has been on the air for over 17 years.
Touring across the UK with his band of experts, the series sees Dickinson help members of the public to flog their heirlooms for a fair price, whether that's to one of his cast of antique dealers or at an auction.
While news that Cheryl Hakeney, a long-time cast member and mother of Love Island star Zara Holland, was leaving the show after 14 years broke earlier this month, there's still an eclectic mix of experts that follow Dickinson across the country on the hunt for antique deals.
Here's everything you need to know about the cast of the ITV show.
