She said: "I’m thrilled that The Travelling Auctioneers is coming back for another series and itching to get back out on the road in our trusty little blue van. 

"We’ll once again be covering the length and breadth of the country to see what treasures we can uncover and what beautiful pieces we can give a new lease of life to.

"It’s really exciting to welcome Izzie, JJ and Robin to the Travelling Auctioneers family.

"Their combined skills and experience will be a huge asset to our team."

Former Royal Marine JJ, who was injured while in Afghanistan, trained as a craft, design and technology teacher and is looking forward to taking part and discovering forgotten treasures.

He said: "The fact that I trained and worked as a craft, design and technology teacher is often overlooked.

"That’s probably owing to the fact that my life has certainly gone in an unexpected direction since those days, from Helmand, to the Invictus Games, to my career as a TV presenter.

"But in real life, I'm happiest in my workshop, and whilst I've let cameras into it in recent years, I'm now very happy to be heading out on the road with The Travelling Auctioneers.

"I can't wait to discover more forgotten treasures in need of restoration. 

"After all, I know more than most about second chances."

Executive producer for STV Studios, John Redshaw mentioned the popularity of the first series.

He added: "We were taken aback by the huge popularity of the first series of The Travelling Auctioneers, despite having a hunch that combining our charming presenters with a unique new format and some wonderful contributors would be a likely recipe for success.

"Now with an extended order, and an ‘Auctioneering A-Team’ in Christina, JJ, Robin and Izzie, we’re looking forward to unearthing more heart-warming stories and taking the show to new heights in series two."
