Flog It! star Michael Baggott’s final social media post before his death aged 51: ‘Chances are I’ll be dead by Christmas’

The death of Michael Baggott, the antiques expert from BBC’s Flog It!, has been announced at the age of 65 after suffering a heart attack.

“Heartbroken to share that Michael died yesterday in hospital of a heart attack following a stroke in October,” the statement read. TV expert David Harper also added: “So terribly sad, such a passionate, interesting, and clever chap, who’ll be missed.” His deep knowledge of antique silver was reflected in his writing, including the well-regarded An Illustrated Guide to York Hallmarks 1776 – 1858.
