David Dickinson
With his dark complexion and numerous catchphrases David Dickinson is a funny and amusing character to have appear at any event.
In the Beginning
David began working as an antiques dealer 30 years ago, when he worked full time as agent to his wife, who was a cabaret singer. David then decided to concentrate on selling antiques at prestigious fairs, taking stands at Olympia and other major antiques fairs three or four times a year, dealing in 18th and 19th century furniture and works of art.
The Lucky Break
In 1998, a chance meeting with a TV producer at a barbecue lead to Dickinson's TV appearance, a two-part documentary for the BBC made about him and his preparation for a show at Olympia. His dark complexion and numerous catchphrases quickly caught the viewers attention. His fame largely came from presenting the game show Bargain Hunt on the BBC. The show had a cult following in the United Kingdom.
In 2005 Dickinson appeared on the ITV reality show I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!
