BBC Antiques Expert Michael Baggott Dies at 65
Michael Baggott, a renowned antiques expert and former star of the BBC's 'Flog It!', has died at the age of 65 following a heart attack, subsequent to suffering a stroke in October. Known for his deep knowledge of antique silver and spoons, Baggott worked at prestigious auction houses like Christie's and Sotheby's before becoming a consultant and author in the antiques industry. He gained popularity on 'Flog It!' for his insightful contributions and willingness to challenge inaccuracies among fellow experts. Baggott's final weeks were marked by a harrowing hospital stay, during which he publicly criticized the NHS for inadequate care, particularly regarding dehydration, which he documented through social media posts. Tributes have poured in from colleagues and fans who remember him as a generous and passionate expert in the field. A memorial service is planned to honor his legacy.
