CASH In The Attic bosses have a cunning trick in place if they don’t find anything valuable in people’s homes, it has been claimed.
On Reddit, a thread has blown up with insiders spilling the beans on which reality TV shows are real and fake.
Taking to the social aggregation platform, a user known as PM_Me_Rude_Haiku, claimed his friend appeared on Cash In The Attic.
And his post soon stunned those on the thread after claiming that some aspects of the show are, in fact, staged.
He wrote: “The idea is that some antique dealers and so on will scout around in your attic, garage and shed and ‘find’ valuable items to sell.
“They found precisely f*** all in my friend’s house, so they pulled some paintings and a vase out of the van.

“They then asked him to go and get changed so they could film a segment from after the sale.
“It all seems like a complete waste of time, aside from the couple of hundred quid they gave him.”
The Celeb Report has approached Channel 5 for comment.
It was confirmed last year that Cash In The Attic would be getting a reboot – a decade after the BBC axed it from its schedules.
Football legend Chris Kamara then signed up as presenter, while original face Jules Hudson returns as co-host.
A lot has changed in the antique world in the ten years that the show has been off air.
But the format remains unchanged, with the focus still firmly on finding hidden treasures in contestants’ homes.
Cash In The Attic is available to watch on My5.
