Antiques Roadshow viewers were left stunned after they discovered the true value of a 'creepy doll' which featured on the show.

When it comes to finding flogging your family heirlooms, the BBC show is certainly the place to go, as there are tons of antique hunters out there hoping to find out if their items have any worth.

During the episode, which aired last night on 19 May, expert Bunny Campione was greeted by a woman with a porcelain doll which had been in her family since the late 1800's.

The woman explained that the doll had originally been purchased from France for her grandmother when she was 4-years-old and has remained in the family in her original box ever since.

The woman went on to explain that the doll - called a 'Bebe Jumeau' phonograph doll - was also 'supposed to talk' but hadn't for 'quite some time'.

"None of the family have been allowed to play with her because she is very, very precious." she said.

Surprisingly, Bunny was seriously impressed by the item, calling it 'one of the most beautiful dolls I’ve ever seen brought on the Roadshow'.

Unsurprisingly, viewers had differing opinions to Bunny and took to X to share how unnerved they were by the doll.

"Creepiest doll this season! #antiquesroadshow," noted one viewer, while another joked: "Hug me and I will suck out your soul #AntiquesRoadshow."

Another viewer was quick to disagree with Bunny's assessment, writing: ”The 'most beautiful' doll she’s ever seen on the roadshow … if your idea of “beautiful” is “horrific .. and possibly possessed."

While several other viewers were quick to declare the item as demonic, with a fourth viewer writing: "Creepiest doll this season."

"I’ll be honest I thought it was gonna say 666 on the back of the head," another joked, and a sixth joked: "Fiona giving some exorcism advice there after scary doll."

However, it turns out that creepy dolls are actually quite valuable - with Bunny later leaving the woman gobsmacked as she revealed the item's true worth.

The antiques expert confirmed that the doll was indeed from the Victorian era before announcing the doll had been given a valuation of around £6,000, thanks to its near immaculate condition - as well as her original discs.

The woman was left speechless at the revelation, replying: "Good gracious!" while the audience around her clapped in applause.

"Oh my goodness. Thank you very much," she added.

Might be worth scouring your own attic for any unsettling toys lurking the shadows.
