Flog It Expert Dies 

Michael Baggott

BBC antiques expert Michael Baggott, best known for appearing in Flog It, has died aged 65 from a heart attack. 

Baggott died earlier this week and had been in the Good Hope Hospital in Birmingham since October. 

A statement said: “Heartbroken to share that Michael died yesterday in hospital of a heart attack following a stroke in October. 

“He was a dearly loved son, brother, nephew and uncle who will be deeply and profoundly missed. There will be a memorial service in the coming weeks, the details of which will be shared here.” 

Tributes have since flooded in for the star from those who knew him well. Auctioneer Charles Hanson wrote: “Rest in peace @baggottsilver A giant of our antique industry, our ‘Arthur Negus’ and never afraid to call out ‘an expert‘ who got it wrong, including myself. Michael’s thirst for knowledge for the ‘object within’ merited far more TV time too for a true and proper expert." 

Fellow auctioneer, Nick Hall, said: “So sorry to hear this, Michael was a true connoisseur and ambassador of the antiques world, a font of knowledge and generous with his knowledge, a raconteur and all round top bloke, a pleasure to have known you MichaelRIP @baggottsilver.”
