Two women who appeared on Bargain Hunt spilled some behind-the-scenes secrets from the show and even admitted to lying on their applications.

Students Jodie Wood and Layla Milne starred in the hit BBC game show earlier this year and the pair made their mark by going against the advice of expert Mark Stacey, 60, and attempting to buy an item they both They fell in love.

They set their eyes on a porcelain pig piggy bank. However, the couple ran out of time while trying to negotiate and quickly settled on a porcelain tiger for £55.

However, their appearance on the show did not go as planned, as Jodie and Layla ultimately suffered losses when their items went up for auction.

And Layla, who fell ill on the day of the auction, blamed the filming schedule for her losses.

Jodie Wood and Layla Milne starred on Bargain Hunt earlier this month and went against expert Mark Stacey’s advice by trying to buy an item they both fell in love with.

However, their appearance on the show did not go as planned, as Jodie and Layla ultimately suffered losses when their items went up for auction.

Jodie explained to the Express: ‘It was Wednesday in Grantham and there was no one there and there was no one in the building and almost no one in line and stuff.

“From what the experts would say, what you got on the auction days was like a shared meal,” he added.

However, their lack of knowledge about antiques, which they lied about during applications, also proved to be a problem.

The couple admitted they were selected to appear on the show after just one attempt – but only because they lied to show bosses.

In fact, they originally applied for the program after a man who installed the alarm urged them to sign up after he also applied.

He told them BBC bosses “wanted young people” to mix things up.

However, they were stunned to discover that, against all odds, the man ended up being their opposition.

The women said, ‘So we apply and we get to shopping day and our opposition is the same man who told us to apply!’

‘We arrived at eight in the morning and said, “It’s you, you fixed our alarm, you told us to apply!”

In the end, the couple suffered a humiliating defeat, losing at the auction and walking away completely empty-handed.

What’s more, they were exhausted and bored, with Layla joking: “It was such a long day because we got there, I think it was 8am and we didn’t leave until 5:30/6ish.”

“It was a long day, but to be honest, a lot of it was just waiting.”

It comes after Bargain Hunt viewers criticized BBC bosses for an “awful” change they made to the hit daytime show.

During an installment last week, viewers were taken to Nottinghamshire, where presenter Christina Trevanion, 43, was accompanied by experts Thomas Forrester, 46, and Ochuko Ojiri, 52, who attempted to help two teams make a profit at an auction.

After losing on the show, the couple confessed that they lied about their ancient knowledge to get a spot.

Disgruntled fans took to X, formerly Twitter, to complain about the show after the format was changed and the auctioneer’s comments were removed from the show.

Typically in each episode, an expert is assigned to the red or blue team to help them search for unique antiques.

And towards the end of the show, the BBC presenter will meet with the auctioneer to go over the items each team got.

However, the daytime show had changed format and the auctioneer’s comments were removed from the show.

Fans took to X, formerly Twitter, to express their disappointment with the new format.

One fan fumed: “Damn horrible without the auctioneer’s comments.” ‘@BBCBargainHunt Hi, we enjoy watching #bargainhunt but why the format change at this time #BBC?’

“I don’t like these abbreviated shows miss the auctioneers comments #bargainhunt.”
