Fiona Bruce's Most Memorable and Unusual Finds on the Antiques Roadshow

The Desiccated Caul

Fiona's most memorable find on the Antiques Roadshow is a desiccated caul, a foetal membrane that was once a pretty valuable commodity. It was discovered in a box of old clothes that an elderly couple had brought to the Roadshow. The couple explained that they had inherited the caul from their grandmother, who had told them that it was good luck to keep it in the house. Fiona was fascinated by the find and explained to the couple that cauls were once thought to have magical properties, and were often used to protect children from illness or harm. The couple were delighted to learn the value of their find, which was estimated to be worth around £5,000.

Bruce to Replace Aspel on Antiques Roadshow

Bruce had been a long-time fan of the show, and she was thrilled to be given the opportunity to host it. She has since become a popular and well-respected host, and she has brought her own unique style and expertise to the show.
