Privacy NoticeBargain Hunt favourite Thomas Forrester was admitted to hospital after he experienced a health scare when his hands began to tingle, initially clueless about his condition. The television personality, who loves to stay active by fencing regularly, found out he had encountered a trapped nerve. A swift visit to the doctor confirmed the cause of his excruciating pain. Thomas disclosed to The Sun: “The thing is I’m a fencer. I fence three times a week and I’m going to continue fencing.” After medical intervention freed the nerve and some much-needed massage therapy, Thomas is optimistic that his condition will improve soon, saying: “They have released it [the trapped nerve] and massaged it and hopefully within a week it will sort of stop,” but noted he’ll likely need “more treatment” for his associated tennis elbow problem.

In true sportsman spirit, the TV expert continued to tell the publication he doesn’t intend to quit exercising despite his challenges: “It’s a constant battle we’re told to exercise, we’re sort of told to keep better and all of that but with the exercise comes the moans, the nibbles, the grunts, the this and all of that.” Thomas is determined to keep up with his recovery process, ensuring he gets regular massages to expedite his return to full fitness. On the work front, reports suggest that a new programme might enter the scene to compete with Bargain Hunt, as the broadcaster hopes to monopolise on the existing show’s success with another antiques-focussed programme, the publication reports.

Sources claim that with an impressive average of two million viewers daily, the Beeb’s interest in fresh spins on the classic antiques format is hardly surprising, hinting at the possibility of upcoming developments in the teatime TV line-up. “The latest is The Art Game, with a six-part series being made by BBC Arts. Each hour-long episode will follow ordinary people as they try to buy art they think will turn a profit,” a source told The Sun. The Art Game is reportedly set to feature pieces from artists ranging from Monet to Banksy and is thought to be set for broadcast next year. The BBC show, Bargain Hunt has become a fan favourite, having successfully been on air for 24 years. Thomas joined Bargain Hunt in 2007 as the antique expert also starred in the now axed Flog It! daytime series.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
