Flog It! antiques expert Michael Baggott's heartbreaking final post before his tragic death aged 51 following a heart attack
The BBC antiques expert died in hospital after suffering a heart attack. He had been in hospital since suffering a stroke in October, a statement posted on his social media confirmed.
He made a series of jokes about his health as he shared his expertise with followers, writing in a December 10 tweet: 'Life changing events give you a new outlook, a new peace, a new gentility, a different frame of mind… BUT you'd have to run me over with a steamroller, several times, before I thought you'd get anywhere near £6-800 for this!!!' The BBC One antiques specialist told his social media followers that he had been bed bound at Good Hope Hospital in Birmingham for five weeks after suffering a stroke. Posting on his official X, formerly Twitter, account, Michael reposted the fake death story about him, telling his followers: 'The truth is it's the 'Vintage Specialist' bit that really hurts… Not dead quite yet.'
