The BBC brought a brand new programme this week.
Kicking from Monday, June 8th, The Bidding Room is set to become the nation’s new favourite antiques series on the telly.
The show features heirlooms and extraordinary items from the public. A line-up of dealers go head-to-head as they try to make a more attractive offer to each seller.
One of the dealers in the series is Adrian Higham. Here’s everything you need to know about Adrain, including antiques career and Instagram!

Meet Adrian Higham
Adrian or Adi is a dealer based in East Sussex.
The Bidding Room star discovered his passion for antiques after renovating and selling old signs at the age of 21.
His first big sell was a bike that he bought and sold for 10 times than its original price – and that’s when Adi decided to go full-time as an antiques expert.
He is one of eight expert dealers on the BBC series.
