But a discovery by antiques specialist and Antiques Roadshow star Ronnie Archer-Morgan could be the answer to all of their problems. Ronnie found a painting in the property he believed to be by 19th century landscape painter John Constable, despite it previously being declared a fake. He took the artwork to be examined by a Constable expert and, while it was still undergoing forensic analysis at the end of episode one on Friday night, Ronnie had good news for the couple. He told them: "The auctioneer would suggest, if it turns out to be a Constable, it could have a value of £800k to £1.2m." Adity said: "That would be life changing for the business, for the house, for everything." Ronnie added: "It's a big 'If' but I have a lot of confidence in this and the next part of this journey qill require a lot of confidence, backed up by a little bit of money. "And that could take six months or even a year." Despite the possibility that the painting could still turn out to be a fake, the couple agreed it would be "really silly" to stop the investigation.){kind=link}
