ROO'S ROAD TO STARDOM
BY JORDAN TENNANT
ROO revealed she went from owning a shop in the Highlands to being watched by millions, in the space of 18 months.
The telly expert was catapulted to stardom and has been a mainstay on Bargain Hunt ever since.
On her journey from shop to screen, Roo wrote: “I didn’t go looking for ‘fame’ and it had to look pretty hard to find me in my wee corner of the Scottish Highlands.
“But thanks to the BBC show Antiques Road Trip, I now find myself juggling my career as an antiques dealer, TV ‘expert’ and presenter.
“After a visit to our shop in early 2015 I got a call from the producers, a few months after it was broadcast, in early 2016. I was asked if I would consider joining the BBC team of experts.”
“After 12 months of meetings, shadowing, screen tests and lots of studying, I was told I was ‘in’ and joined the legend Phil Serrell for my baptism on the BBC Antiques Road Trip.”
The antique guru joined the Bargain Hunt team in 2019 and also features on Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
