A guest on Antiques Roadshow has been left overcome with emotion after she discovered the whopping value of her childhood teddy bear.
Expert Bunny Campione was shocked when the guest revealed the toy had been kept in a carrier bag at the back of her wardrobe for years.
Talking about her teddy, the woman said: "It belonged to my great aunt and when she passed away it went to my mum and now I'm the custodian of it at the moment."
The teddy also housed a water bottle and Antiques expert couldn't believe her eyes when the guest put the furry bear on the table.

Bunny said: "Well, I must admit, I hope I didn't give too much of a shock when I saw you coming to my table. I think I screamed didn't I?"
She then began to explain the worth of the toy. She revealed: "'So, we are talking about a Steiff teddy bear, circa 1904, incredibly rare colour, a rare size because most of them were smaller than this, and a value wise, £15,000."
The guest was left in shock and said: "What 15?" before she admitted: "It’s just been put in a bag in the wardrobe."
The teddy bear that has been hidden away for years was designed by Steiff, a designer now known for its luxury collaborations with Louis Vuitton.
It had a whopping value of 15k
