It broadcasted from the Royal Cornwall Showground in Wadebridge.

Meanwhile, experts Thomas Forrester and Tim Weeks guided the two teams on the hunt for a bargain.

However, viewers' attention soon turned to Charlie after he picked up a mysterious item at the fair.

Speaking about the object, the 72-year-old said: "When I saw this at the fair I fell in love with it and I had to buy it.

"I wasn't immediately sure what it is. It's actually made of ebony. It's on three stands, its got a loose bit at the top. Looks like a beehive to me."

The presenter then approached people in the crowd to ask them what they believed the object was.

But fans at home were convinced it was a butt plug that Charlie had unknowingly bought.

Taking to social media, one said: "Its a butt plug #BargainHunt."

A second said: "I didn’t want to let the side down by mentioning bottom items #Bargainhunt."

"Looks like something not to be mentioned.#BargainHunt," said a third viewer.

While a fourth said: "Wooden butt plug."

Despite being so certain, it turned out that viewers were actually wrong.

The item was later confirmed to be a 19th century string holder.

Bargain Hunt airs on BBC One and iPlayer.
