Paul Martin is one of the most popular and richest Presenter who was born on January 5, 1959 in Teddington, Teddington, United Kingdom. From the age of 25, he owned a pitch on London’s Portobello Road. He also worked as an antiques props stylist for magazines including Marie Claire and New Woman, whilst undertaking larger projects designing antique sets for television shoots for BBC One’s The Clothes Show and Granada TV. More recently he ran the shop The Table Gallery in Marlborough, Wiltshire, specialising in 17th- and 18th-century Welsh and English oak furniture and Victorian lavatories.
In 2014, he began hosting I Never Knew That About Britain for the ITV network.
The first of these programmes, Make Me a Dealer, began its inaugural series on 5 November 2018, followed by the antiques game show Curiosity in spring 2019.
On 2 October 2018, the BBC announced it would cancel Flog It!, but that Martin would return to host two new similar shows as part of its “modernised” new daytime schedule—one of which would use Martin’s skills as a dealer to train members of the public, the second being an antiques-based game show.
Martin is married to BBC production co-ordinator Charlotte Godfrey. In 2007 the couple moved to Seend in Wiltshire, to a property built in the 1830s, with a smallholding of 30 acres (12 ha) of land, surrounded by its own arboretum.
