Antiques Roadshow guest warned to tell 'the truth' about 'Kennedy dead' poster that nearly went in the bin
A previous episode of the BBC show, which was filmed at Roundhay Park in Leeds, saw a couple ask for advice from expert Clive Farahar about their newspaper post from the 60s.
The married couple brought forward a poster that said 'Kennedy dead' with 'Evening Standard' underneath it - rereferring to John F Kennedy's death in 1963.
Clive was interested to know how they got their hands on it and the man explained that his parents had some utility furniture while growing up in London back in the 50s.
The expert explained that utility meant that it was items made during the war, to which the man continued: 'And one of the items was a sideboard which I inherited...
'Earlier this year, we needed some space in the garage...'

But before he could finish his sentence his wife brutally said: 'The truth?!'
She continued to tell her side of the story: 'I decided the garage was a tip. And we needed to tidy it up.
'And he said the sideboard was just full of old paintings and you know, the sort of stuff you keep.'
And her husband confessed that they came across the poster, which was 'probably laying there for 60-odd years.'
Clive confessed: 'As far as poster art is concerned, it is so stark isn't it?
'As a piece of poster, it's hard to think of it being valuable...'
'That nearly went in the recycling bin,' the woman confessed.
And a shocked Clive replied: 'No you didn't?!' and she told him: 'You [her husband] came out the garage and went "Ooh look at this! This is really..." and I went "Put it in the recycling bin!"'
Clive then told the couple what the piece of paper was worth.
'I'm going to put £1,000 on this,' he told them.
'You nearly got rid of it! You nearly dismantled it,' he added.
The pair were over the moon with the news and said: 'Wow.'
It comes after an Antiques Roadshow guest's jaw dropped as they learned the whopping value of a Rolex watch that they bought for just £200.
In a recent episode of the BBC show, which originally aired in 2022, a number of guests travelled to Woodhorn Museum in Northumberland to get their special items looked at.
One man brought along a watch for expert Richard Price to look at.
Richard told the guest: 'So, Rolex collectors obviously know what this is and this is a Rolex Oyster GMT Master.
'And they refer to everything by the reference number. In this case, it is the reference 1675.
'It's also here on the bill of sale which I see is from a Hong Kong retailer in the early part of 1971.
'It's obviously not bought by you so who bought it in 1971?'
And the man explained how he got his hands on it and said: 'It was basically a gift to my dad and about give years ago, he passed it to me for inheritance.
'He's still alive, but he just thought give it to me to see what to do with it and it's been in a drawer ever since!'
Richard then shared the history of the watch, explaining that the airline history in the 40s and 50s made longer trips, and pilots flew on GMT.
Pan American Airways has a discussion with Rolex to develop a watch with an extra hand to set it to GMT - it was developed for the airline in 1954.
The watch became the standard GMT master.
'What is so lovely about this is that you have got all the paper work,' Richard said.

He pointed out that the bezel was original, but the value may have been reduced if it wasn't, but the bracelet wasn't the original.
The expert pointed out that he thought it was purchased for £200, and then went on to say how much he think it is now.
Richard said: 'That £200 50 years ago has actually done quite well.
'If it had the original bracelet with the full set, we could have put two noughts on and made it £20,000.
'But it's not got the original bracelet.
'So I'm going to take it back to in this condition, around £14,000.'
The guest was lost for words and said: 'What?! Woah! No way.'
Richard asked: 'You happy?'
'Yeah!' the guest replied. 'I didn't expect that at all.

Coldplay couple who were caught on infamous kiss cam are hilariously mocked by darts fans in Blackpool at World Matchplay tournament
The now-infamous couple who went viral after being caught cuddling at a Coldplay concert have been hilariously mocked by darts fans at the World Matchplay in Blackpool. Andrew Byron, the head of the AI startup Astronomer, was broadcast on the big screen at Boston's Gillette Stadium with his arm around the company's HR chief Kristin Cabot during the band's gig on Tuesday night. They rapidly covered their faces, with Byron diving out of view and Cabot turning her back to the camera. But despite their efforts to avoid the limelight, their apparent awkwardness caught the attention of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. 'Oh look at these two!' the singer said mischievously as they spun around. 'Oh what? Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy.' Public records suggest both Byron, 50, and Cabot, 56, are married - but that they live at different addresses to each of their spouses registered abodes. Caught out at the darts! 🙈 — PDC Darts (@OfficialPDC) July 21, 2025 The couple were seen covering their faces, with Mr Byron, the head of the AI startup Astronomer, diving out of view and Ms Cabot turning away from the camera Now, two fans at the World Matchplay on Monday morning made the most of their 10 seconds of fame as they mocked the couple on Sky Sports' broadcast of the event. During Gerwyn Price's first round match against Daryl Gurney at Winter Gardens, two people in the crowd were caught by cameras holding up a sign that read: 'We love Coldplay.' Price was dominating the game at the time, leading 6-3, when the camera cut to the two people in the crowd. They were stood one in front of the other, both looking at the big screens to see when they were on television. When they realised they were, they dived out of shot, with the person at the back dipping low and the one at the front throwing their sign to the floor and covering their face. It triggered loud laughs from the crowd, coming just days after Byron and Cabot themselves were caught. The clip instantly went viral, racking up millions of views on TikTok, as fans flew into a frenzy at the uncomfortable moment. Memes abounded, with many thanking Coldplay for 'bringing the whole internet together for one day.' Byron, 50, meanwhile, stepped down from his role after being placed on leave on Friday. The billion-dollar company announced the CEO's resignation in a statement on Saturday. 'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,' it read. 'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,' the statement said. 'Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.' Back at the oche, meanwhile, Price beat Gurney 10-7 in a heated affair that saw the players clash multiple times on stage.

Strictly Come Dancing star 'signs up to I'm A Celebrity All Stars' as ITV prepare to jet celebrities to South Africa for series two
Seann Walsh is reportedly gearing up to go back on I'm A Me Out Of Here! All Stars version. The comedian, 39, hit headlines during his 2018 stint in Strictly Come Dancing when he was caught kissing his married dance partner Katya Jones on his then-girlfriend Rebecca Humphries' birthday. Seann originally jetted off to Australia for the ITV show in 2022 in the hope of 'redeeming himself' following the Strictly scandal four years prior. And during his time in the jungle Seann was popular with his campmates and viewers finishing in a respectable fifth place. Now the TV star is reportedly in advance talks with ITV about signing on the dotted line for the second series of the All Stars spin-off, which is due to be filmed in South Africa this year. A TV insider has told The Sun: 'When he went into the jungle in 2022 he very much did it in the hope of redeeming himself in the eyes of the viewing public. 'Which was no mean feat given he'd been branded an aggressive gaslighter as a result of his fling with Katya and his treatment of his girlfriend. 'Yet he managed to emerge as one of the more popular campmates and actually finished in a respectable fifth place in the contest. 'Part of the reason why he came across comparatively well was because he went into I'm A Celebrity with an even bigger love rat. 'His entry into the camp was alongside former Health Secretary Matt Hancock who was at the centre of an exclusive in The Sun revealing he had had an affair with a political adviser Gina Coladangelo in 2021.' MailOnline has contacted I'm A Celebrity and Seann's representatives for comment. The first All Stars series of the show aired in 2023, and brought back former campmates Myleene Klass, who finished in first place, as well as Helen Flanagan, Jordan Banjo, Shaun Ryder, Phil Tufnell and Carol Vorderman. It comes after Seann welcomed his second child, a son Casper with partner Grace Adderley earlier this year after keeping his partner's pregnancy a secret. Revealing the shock baby arrival, he posted a picture on his Instagram story of his daughter Wylda, two, who he shares with Grace. Alongside the picture of the little one with what looks like yoghurt on her head, he quipped: 'My first five minutes being left alone with Wylda and our newborn Casper. S*** just got real.' He then posted another picture, this time holding baby Casper, with Wylda sat in a high chair as the family ate lunch on a bench outside. Seann jokingly wrote: 'Gonna need a bigger boat'. Their baby news no doubt came as a surprise to fans as Seann and Grace never shared the news they were expecting. Seann first became a father in February 2023 after the couple welcomed daughter Wylda, and shared the happy news to Instagram. Taking to his stories, he shared a clip of himself as he sat in the hospital after the birth, saying: 'Grace has had our baby and I'm sat here in the very relaxing postnatal department, and the staff have been great. 'The nurses have been coming up to me all morning and congratulating me.' He then shared a post, which read: 'Oh btw. I passed out during the birth. Of course I did. The nurse's response... "Men." Fair.' The former Strictly Come Dancing revealed in October 2022 that he and his dance teacher girlfriend were having a baby. Speaking to a friend during an Instagram Live session at the time, Seann told a friend: 'I'm having a child.' Seann was then asked by the friend: 'So you're gonna be a dad?', before replying 'yeah' - with the unnamed man responding: 'That's worrying.' The funnyman then told his followers: 'Unbelievable. Everyone else has been really nice, that's the worst response yet.' Seann and Grace have been dating since 2019, but largely keep their relationship out of the spotlight.
