A BBC Flog It! star has died following a heart attack.

Michael Baggott had been admitted to hospital last year after being unwell for some time. The star, who appeared on the BBC antiques show from 2017 until it was decommissioned in 2020, alarmed fans by sharing a video from his hospital bed.

Now, his death has been confirmed in a statement shared on his X account, reading: “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.”
