Antiques Roadshow viewers floored as X-rated ‘bum’ artefact is given huge value

Antiques Roadshow viewers were gobsmacked as a very racy sea coconut artefact was given a very impressive value despite its rude appearance.

A recent episode, which was broadcast from the Ulster Folk Museum near Belfast, showed Fiona Bruce and expert Ronnie Archer-Morgan, along with other specialists, look at different antiques.

But one that caught the eye of viewers was a sea coconut from Sri Lanka the 19th century, and was shown by a woman who had inherited from her husband's second cousin.

The sea coconut had been carved into a box, and fans couldn't help noticing that it had a strong resemblance to a human's thighs and bottom.

They took to social media to laugh at the racy comparison, as one said called it "a bum nut with suspenders", while another called it a "racy looking nut".

Others compared it to Kim Kardashian, known for her peachy dearie, while another crudely called it a "beautiful looking a**e".

As Archer-Morgan examined the antique, he noted the rare origin of the sea coconut, saying it came from only two of the Seychelles' 115 islands, with the nuts floating onto the Maldives' stunning beaches.

The antique was also previously used as a tea caddy and souvenir, as the expert noted its status as a protected species that prohibited contemporary trade.

Fans were stunned as he gave it a valuation of between £800 to £1200 due to its historical significance.

Meanwhile, a woman burst into tears as she was told her childhood teddy was worth a whopping £15,000, after she admitted she had kept it in a plastic bag in the wardrobe.

Expert Bunny Campione said: "Well, I must admit, I hope I didn't give too much of a shock when I saw you coming to my table. I think I screamed didn't I?

"So, we are talking about a Steiff teddy bear, circa 1904, incredibly rare colour, a rare size because most of them were smaller than this, and a value wise, £15,000," leaving thew woman in total shock.
