The Bargain Hunt team were left terrified after uncovering the BBC show's 'creepiest ever' item. Expert Izzie Balmer and her team appeared to be visibly disturbed when they discovered a deathly-looking doll on the show this week.
While on the hunt for a Victorian novelty, siblings Azeez and Hafsa came across the eerie toy which looked like it belonged in the disturbing Saw series. Hafsa remarked: "Absolutely dead in the eyes". She added: "It freaks me out, it's scaring me a little bit."
The doll sported long thick gold hair, striking slug eyebrows and a royal blue dress. Continuing to look spooked, Izzie added: "Bonus buy! I know what I'm getting!", as Hasfa added: "Oh my gosh, I'll be terrified if you bring that out!".

The team soon decided to leave the doll where they'd found it, focusing on other potential bargains. However, they may wish they had tried to sell it, reports the Mirror.
As the auction proceeded, the group had high hopes of making a considerable profit from a pair of 19th-century candles, which they purchased for £70. Unfortunately, these fetched a low £35, resulting in steep losses for a handful of other objects too.
After several disappointing auctions, the duo were down by -£93, but Izzie reassured them that all was not lost. She chose a biscuit jar as their last piece, which had originally been bought for £30.
Izzie pointed out that the item could sell due to the popularity of arts and crafts pieces, but also highlighted its slight damage. Sadly the item only fetched £18 at auction, resulting in a larger loss for the pair.
