Ep 13. Jimmy Osmond and Tony Christie

Jimmy Osmond and Tony Christie are the featured celebrities in season 6 episode 13 of the popular TV show, Celebrity Antiques Road Trip. As with previous episodes, the premise remains the same - two celebrities are given a healthy budget and sent on a mission to find hidden gems in antiques shops around the country. The twist? Each celebrity has an expert antiques dealer accompanying them, vying to make the most profit from their chosen trinkets and collectibles.

The episode begins with Tony Christie, a well-known singer, and Jimmy Osmond, a former child star of the Osmond family, being paired up with antiques experts Anita Manning and Paul Laidlaw, respectively. With a starting budget of £400 each, the two teams are then sent on their separate ways to hunt down antiques and collectibles in various shops and markets.

As Tony and his partner Anita hit the road, they quickly set off towards the picturesque countryside of Norfolk, on the hunt for all sorts of treasures. Along the way, Tony reminisces about his love for vintage music, particularly rare vinyl records. Not surprisingly, the team make a bee-line for a record and book shop, where Tony immediately starts riffling through the stacks of vinyl records, eager to find something that catches his fancy.

As the team moves along, they visit a variety of shops, with Tony getting particularly excited when they visit an antique shop that specializes in military memorabilia. Tony takes an interest in an old military coat and hat, hoping that it could be worth something. However, Anita quickly tempers his optimism, warning him that he may not be able to sell it for as much as he thinks, especially as it's a niche item with a limited market.

Meanwhile, Jimmy is on the opposite side of the country, alongside his antiques expert Paul. The two set off towards the coast, heading to East Sussex to explore a range of antique shops. Jimmy is full of energy, chatting excitedly with Paul as they travel, reminiscing about his time on the stage and relishing the opportunity to learn more about antiques.

As they arrive at their first stop, a general antiques store, Jimmy quickly gets to work, scanning the shelves and cabinets for hidden treasures. He finds an old clock that catches his eye, but after a closer inspection, Paul warns him that it's a reproduction and not worth the investment. Undeterred, Jimmy persists, heading to the next shop, which is an antique furniture store. There, he discovers a stunning Victorian armchair, and despite its hefty price tag, he decides to take a chance on it.

As the day wears on, both teams experience their fair share of successes and disappointments. They visit a range of shops, markets, and auctions, competing against each other to find the most valuable items. With the day coming to an end, the teams meet up at an outdoor auction in Sussex, where they face off for the final showdown.

Without giving too much away, it's fair to say that both teams have a tumultuous time at the auction, with some items selling for less than expected and others exceeding expectations. But ultimately, it's a fun-filled day of treasure hunting, with Tony and Jimmy both walking away with some fascinating items and having a blast along the way.

Overall, Celebrity Antiques Road Trip season 6 episode 13 provides an entertaining window into the world of antiques and collectibles, all while offering viewers a chance to see some beloved celebrities in action. From music to militaria, there's something for everyone, and it's sure to make you want to head out on your own antiques road trip.
