A BARGAIN Hunt winning duo has opened up about some of the secrets behind-the-scenes on the show, including an easy way contestants could get away with cheating. <\/p>\n

Simon and Rosie Ellis took home the title of Bargain Hunt winners despite making a loss on their antiques.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The father and daughter shared that they were left surprised by some aspects of the show while filming.<\/p>\n

One thing they didn't account for was copyright rules which determined what items they were allowed to buy.<\/p>\n

Managing director Simon revealed that they were planning to buy a Coca Cola sign but were told not to by show bosses.<\/p>\n

He added: "You couldn't buy a picture of Marilyn Monroe for instance, because if you showed it on the camera that would be copyrighted and they'd have to pay a fee."<\/p>\n

Marketing assistant Rosie also told the Daily Mail that there was one item they managed to haggle down to \u00a33.50 – before producers stepped in.<\/p>\n

She said: "They said the Bargain Hunt can only show sales in pounds so we had to go up to \u00a34. We could've got more profit!"<\/p>\n

Although the BBC show appears to only give contestants one hour to make all three purchases, Simon and Rosie shared that the reality is very different.<\/p>\n

The family members say they were at the antiques fair for at least three hours filming on and off, and also added that some of the footage is staged.<\/p>\n

Rosie explained: "They keep stopping the timer to go back over the scenes. You'll film an interaction and they'll jump in and say 'no, no, no, you can't do that'.<\/p>\n

"So they'll go back and tell you to put your hand somewhere different and repeat what you said and then they start the timer."<\/p>\n

There is also a way that contestants can cheat – but Simon said it's conspicuous, so bargain hunters will be unlikely to risk it.<\/p>\n

He disclosed that if family members or friends secretly bid on an item it can drive up the price.<\/p>\n

"It's so obvious in the episodes when someone has cheated though," he laughed. <\/p>\n

"You can always tell when someone's like 'oh wow, that's made a lot of money' and it's not like they lose anything because you keep the profit."<\/p>\n
