Meet the Antiques Road Trip experts: from Izzie Balmer to Natasha Raskin Sharp

Izzie balmer to natasha raskin sharp are among the show's presenters.

Izzie Balmer, Natasha Raskin Sharp, Philip Serrell split image

We love settling down in front of the TV on weekday afternoons to watch BBC One's hit daytime show, Antiques Road Trip .

The series sees two antiques experts go head to head as they travel up and down the UK in search of treasures they can buy and sell at auction in the hopes of making the most money. 

While the show's solid format keeps viewers coming back, a major part of what makes the show so popular is its line-up of friendly presenters. But who are they? Meet them below. 

izzie balmer new

Izzie Balmer

Izzie is an auctioneer and jewellery expert who you'll recognise from various other BBC daytime shows, including Bargain Hunt and The Travelling Auctioneers . 

The presenter, who hails from Derby, previously worked as Head Valuer and Auctioneer at the Wessex Auction Rooms in Wiltshire before leaving the role in December last year to commit to her TV career full-time.

Izzie Balmer & Mark Hill on Antiques Road Trip

Mark has worked with antiques and collectables ever since leaving the University of Reading, where he studied History of Art & Architecture.

The 49-year-old has been a specialist in the miscellaneous and collectables teams on Antiques Roadshow since 2007. He's also the 'Collectables and 20th Century Design' specialist for an international series of books and has even published books of his own. 

Natasha Raskin Sharp on Bargain Hunt

Antiques and art expert Natasha is a familiar face on our screens thanks to her roles in Bargain Hunt and Flog It! .

The Glasgow-born presenter, who recently welcomed her first child with her husband Joe Sharp, has her dad, artist Philip Raskin , to thank for her successful career as he was the one who "gently nudged" her in the direction of the antique trade and auction houses.

"[He] thought that I'd be well-suited to the environment," she previously told the BBC. "Although I'd never normally admit it, he was absolutely right!" 

antiques road trip steven moore

Steven Moore

Steven is an auctioneer, author and curator whose passion for antiques began during his childhood. " My father taught ceramics so I grew up with clay as a toy, " he previously told the BBC. "The transformation of earth into an object of permanence has always fascinated me: I used to dig bottles from old tips and even skived off cross country at school to do this - bottles led to local pottery."

The presenter, who joined Antiques Roadshow back in 2004, was a consultant editor to Miller Publications for many years and has written for magazines such as Country Life, Gardens Illustrated and Homes and Antiques.

irita marriott antiques

Irita is an antiques expert and dealer who joined the show in 2021. She runs her own business , Irita Marriott Antiques, and has been working in the antiques industry for a decade.

On why he decided on a career in antiques, Charles told the BBC: "I chose to work with antiques because I love history; the question 'if the object could talk what would it tell us ' is what keeps my interest; an auction is a theatre of drama and romance."

Away from the cameras, Charles has been married to his wife Rebecca since 2010. The couple share two children: a daughter named Matilda and a son, Frederick.

Raj Bisram & Irita Marriott on Antiques Road Trip

Raj is an antiques dealer and auctioneer expert specialising in fine art.

Prior to his broadcasting career, Raj worked in the British Army and also as a ski instructor in Austria. Alongside his TV gigs, Raj runs Bentley's Fine Art and Antiques Auctioneers with his business partner. 

Philip Serrell on Bargain Hunt

You are watching: Exclusive: Antiques Road Trip welcomes new expert Mark Hill

HELLO! can exclusively reveal that antiques expert Mark Hill has joined the line-up of the upcoming series of the BBC One show, which is set to air later this year. Ahead of his debut, which will see him take part in some friendly competition with fellow expert Roo Irvine, get to know more about Mark here…

WATCH: Meet Antiques Road Trip’s new expert Mark Hill

Mark, 47, is no stranger to TV, having appeared on Antiques Roadshow with Fiona Bruce since 2007, as well as other BBC programmes like Collectaholics and Antiques Uncovered over the years.

However, as Mark says, Antiques Road Trip, which involves actually going to antique shops, markets and car boot sales, is a lot closer to his everyday life as an antiques collector and expert. “It’s basically what I do in lif e. Finding treasures around antique shops is what I do, so to do it with that sort of added competition makes me very excited, ” he says.

Mark’s passion for antiques began when he was young. “As a kid, I would find these things – I’m afraid I was a very geeky kid -and I research the story, find out all about it teach myself. I remember, I bought a pocket watch when I was about 15 or something and then sold it for more money and I thought to myself, ‘Could I make a career out of this?'”

“I’ve always loved a story which I think it’s a very human thing. For me, it was all about the object and the story behind the object,” he adds.

Mark began his career at one of the UK’s oldest auction houses

Mark’s parents were more than supportive of his dreams to make a career out of his love for antiques. “My father came over to England from New Zealand in 1964 to pursue his dream of working for a Formula One team, so he encouraged me – they both did – to do what I wanted to do.”

As a result, Mark went on to study History of Art & Architecture at the University of Reading where, in his own word s, his eye for a good find funded both his “books and his bar bill” . Before he even received his diploma, he joined one of the world’s oldest and largest auctioneers, Bonhams and it wasn’t long before he worked his way up to the auction floor.

“I started right the bottom and I mean, literally right at the bottom,” he explains. “I was cleaning and standing on auction views, but it was probably the best apprenticeship that I think I could ever get and I’d recommend anybody to do it because you just start off handling so many different things, learning from clients and learning from specialists.”

Mark has joined the latest series of the BBC show

One of the first things viewers will notice about Mark is his strong sense of style – which it turns out is also rooted in his love for treasures of the past. “Most of the clothes I wear are vintage,” he says. “It’s about quality and it’s also about sustainability and recycling like any other antique.”

“I like to wear those objects because, without wanting to sound holier than thou, there is the future of the environment to think about. One of the things I can’t do is fast fashion.”

As for how his career in front of the cameras began, Mark reveals that it was “pure luck” that he was scouted to take part on Antiques Roadshow more than 15 years ago.

However, he describes his new role on Antiques Road Trip as “very, very different” to the Sunday afternoon staple. “The format obviously is different but it’s very fast-paced and I love that.”

The show also reunites him very many experts he’s encountered in his professional life over the years and his first trip sees him take to the Scottish Highlands with fellow expert Roo Irvine who he counts as a “dear friend”.

Mark has been paired with Roo Irvine for his first stint on Antiques Road Trip

“Working with Roo is really great. She’s just so much fun and I think what comes across is that it really is two good friends travelling around the country with the edge of competition.”

As for how their first trip together goes, Mark teases: “There have been a few occasions where I’ve had very nice surprises. Very, very nice surprises but you’re gonna have to tune into find out! I will say there are some jolly nice surprises with extremely smile making results.”

When he’s not in front of the cameras or at auction houses, Mark says he can be found at his London home which he shares with his partner and rescue cat, either curled up on the sofa reading a book, tending to his garden or enjoying a nice glass of wine.

However, he does admit that he spent the last weekend at an antiques fair as he couldn’t resist checking it out. “It was Confucius who said that if find something you love to do, you won’t ever have a day of work in your life and I think that’s absolutely true. So as deeply sad as it sounds, I’m just addicted to what I do. I love it.”

Antiques Road Trip is available to stream on BBC iPlayer now. Mark’s episodes will air on BBC One later in 2022.

“I absolutely adore mid to late-20th-century pieces, but anything that I think is timeless in style and lovely quality, you will find in my shop,” she said. “Chunky chains fill my heart with joy, so if you’re looking for a statement necklace or bracelet, you’re in the right place.”

Hettie Jago Antiques Road Trip

Hettie Jago is an expert on BBC Antiques Road Trip. She made her Celebrity Antiques Road Trip debut on Wednesday 18th October 2023 on BBC Two.

Hettie made her Antiques Road Trip debut against regular dealer David Harper on 27 November 2023 on BBC One. The BBC 2 hit show’s synopsis reads:

“Auctioneer, dealer and Road Trip greenhorn Hettie Jago goes up against David Harper, the old hand still rocking those multi-coloured trews. Hettie, Somerset born and currently residing in Nottingham, and Barnard Castle’s David have a 1980s Mercedes 280 SL for their shopping extravaganza.

“Our pair begin with £1,500 each, and the winner will be the expert who wins the most auctions from their five trips to the sale room.

“The rummaging starts north of the border in the fair city of Perth, where Hettie gurgles for joy at a pair of fish jugs and David competes on the animal front with a beaded tapestry of man’s best friend. He also flings himself into a visit to the historic castle of Scone, where many Kings of Scotland were crowned. But who will rule the road trip this time around?”
