It’s back to the attic, or perhaps the basement, as Celebrity Yorkshire Auction House returns. Season 4 continues with another round of well-known personalities opening their doors – and their closets – to auctioneer Angus Ashworth and his team. This time, a fresh batch of celebrities are hoping to turn unwanted clutter into cold, hard cash, though it remains to be seen if these famous faces actually own anything of value. The hook? Always the same. Maybe, just maybe, there’s a hidden treasure lurking beneath the dusty knick-knacks and forgotten family heirlooms.
The format, if you haven’t experienced the subtle yet profound pleasure of Celebrity Yorkshire Auction House, is simple: Ashworth and his team sift through the homeowners’ belongings, identifying items with potential auction value. For the viewer, it’s a double dose of voyeuristic delight. We get to peek inside celebrity homes, often with surprising results (who knew so-and-so collected porcelain thimbles?), and then there’s the inherent suspense of the auction itself. Will that chipped vase turn out to be a Ming dynasty relic? Probably not, but hope springs eternal.
For viewers, though, it’s a chance to witness the occasional genuinely interesting find, to learn a bit about antiques, and to judge the questionable taste of people who arguably have more money than sense. Celebrity Yorkshire Auction House offers that comforting blend of familiarity and potential surprise that keeps viewers coming back for more. Check it out. Or don’t. It’s Monday night, and there’s probably a repeat of something more compelling on somewhere. But hey, maybe this is your thing.
