Paul Martin has been the popular presenter of Flog It! Since 2002. He was discovered when he was interviewed about his passion for oak furniture by a team from BBC Bristol. This was the extent of his previous television experience. The team was so impressed by his natural confidence in front of the camera that he was signed up immediately to present the BBC daytime antiques show. He is obsessed with beautiful furniture and is most eloquent when talking about the look, feel and smell of wood.
He has presented Britain's Hidden Heritage, The Manor Reborn, Paul Martin's Handmade Revolution, A History of Wallpaper, I Never Knew That About Britain, Street Auction and Make Me a Dealer, as well as his quiz show Curiosity. Paul lives in Wiltshire with his wife and two young children who feature regularly, together with their smallholding, in the daytime series Countryfile Diaries.
Paul’s book Paul Martin: My World of Antiques reveals hitherto untold stories of fantastic artefact finds, and tells us about the key to success in trading antiques.
