Martin Roberts met his wife in rather dramatic circumstances as she came to the rescue when he 'collapsed'. The TV presenter has been a household name on British telly for 20 years, joining Homes Under the Hammer in 2003 before quickly becoming the BBC's UK and overseas property expert. He originally starred as host alongside Lucy Alexander, but from 2016 has been joined by Martin Maxwell.
Today, the pair examine properties in Lancashire, Kent, Surrey and the West Midlands which are sold at auction, and then take a look at how they have been restored. It comes after the telly star marked a special 20-year anniversary of being with the show last November, honoured with a star-studded double bill. The property pro hosted the show with a range of celebrity guests, including Traitors icon Amanda Lovett and interior design guru Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.
