The trio join existing presenters Natasha Raskin Sharp, Christina Trevanion, Eric Knowles and Charlie Ross as they scour antiques fairs across the nation looking for pre-loved pieces which will turn a profit for members of the public, going head-to-head in the red and blue teams. Roo's first fronted episode will air on Monday 13 June and will see her visit an antiques fair in Southwell, Nottinghamshire - so mark your calendars now!
Speaking about filming, she described it as "exhilarating, exciting and great fun", but added that the early starts were not what she was used to as she is a self-confessed "night owl".

"I am a night owl and definitely not a morning person, so my morning alarm when filming often makes me cry into my pillow!" she explained.

Nevertheless, she added that she was "loving every second of it" as "Bargain Hunt has such a happy, chilled vibe and that's down to the contestants and the crew. It's like a big family. They say 'do what you love and you'll never do a day's work again' – that is definitely me!"
Away from her television work, Roo is the owner of Kilcreggan Antiques, an antique store in her hometown of Argyll and Bute, Scotland and lives with her husband Mark and two adorable Maine Coon cats.
