Summary
David Dickinson, TV antiques legend from Bargain Hunt and Dickinson’s Real Deal, shares the untold story behind his rise — fueled by his wife Lorne Lesley, a cabaret star who gave him a Regency mourning ring on their 1968 wedding day. Married for over 50 years, Lorne’s career and wit kept him grounded — and running the show, even if he jokes otherwise. Adopting her kids, Robert and Katrina, and now enjoying grandkids like Dragons’ Den star Miles, David credits Lorne for sparking his passion for antiques — and his entire TV career — after she inspired him to ditch textiles and become her manager.
