Deborah Meaden and Theo Paphitis, two of the UK's most successful entrepreneurs, team up for the second episode of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.
Their journey begins in Winchester, where they visit an antiques fair and encounter a dealer with an impressive collection of Art Deco pieces. Deborah is particularly drawn to a pair of lamps, while Theo sets his sights on a statue of a mythical creature. They both strike a deal with the dealer, but will they make a profit when they sell the items at auction?
Next, the pair head to Bournemouth, where they visit a shop packed with military memorabilia. Theo is fascinated by a collection of WWII medals, while Deborah is drawn to a selection of vintage beaters used by drummers. They both make purchases, but once again, they need to turn a profit at auction to win the challenge.
Their final stop is in the New Forest, where they explore an antiques-filled manor house owned by Lord Montagu. The duo are both keen to get their hands on a Victorian dress, and Theo finds a quirky item to add to his collection - a vintage cinema seat. But will these items be enough to secure a win at the auction and help their chosen charities?
Along the way, Deborah and Theo reveal their own personal stories and speak candidly about their lives and careers. They also share their thoughts on the pieces they come across, reflecting on their historical significance and commenting on their aesthetic appeal.
With a mix of humor, charm, and expert knowledge, Deborah Meaden and Theo Paphitis take viewers on a thrilling adventure through the world of antiques.
