ANTIQUES ROAD TRIP expert Arusha 'Roo' Irvine suffered an upsetting episode of the BBC One show this afternoon.
Antiques Road Trip: Arusha feels 'very sad' after auction failure
In the company of Road Trip regular Phil Serrell and a 1970s Triumph Stag called Rudolph, new tripper Roo was having to learn fast.
Travelling from the antiques shops of the West Midlands to an auction in Sheffield, it wasn't long before the newcomer feared she would be kicked out of a shop.
Roo picked up an item and said: "This. I like, I like, I like. It's saying here art nouveau brass and copper vase, £30."
Slamming it against a shelf as she tried to look underneath the item, voiceover host Tim Wonnacott gasped: "Oh crikey!"

That's sad. I'm sad. I'm on the verge of tears
Worried, Roo then asked the camera operator: "Do you think I'll get kicked out of the shop? I'm glad it's not glass."
Later at the auction, she was suffering once more as she tried to shift some of her purchases.
Tim said: "What about Roo's silver shoes paraphernalia?"
Costing £18, the auctioneer started the bidding at just £12.

The hammer dropped at £22 after failing to gain momentum in the auction room.
Roo cried: "That's sad. I'm sad. I'm on the verge of tears," as Phil teased: "I can show you what tears really are!"
Antiques Road Trip continues tomorrow on BBC One at 4.30pm.
