The TV presenter, who is also known for her work on other popular daytime show, Bargain Hunt, recently spoke to her HELLO! about her bond with her father and how he influenced her career.

Chatting about her initial job aspirations before going into the world of antiques, the 35-year-old said: "I thought I was going to follow in my parents' footsteps. My parents were restaurateurs for 20 years and I just assumed that I would go on to either take the helm at their restaurant or to do something in the hospitality industry myself."

However, Natasha was then inspired to move into auctioning after her dad persuaded her to go along to an auction. "He took me to not your typical art auction. He took me to a contemporary art auction which is still quite unusual in the world of antiques, that was over 10 years ago now."

She continued: "It hadn't occurred to me to work in the auction world. Had it not been for my dad, I wouldn't have known that you could do such exciting things or sell contemporary art at auction which I continue to do to this day, and indeed, not just catalogue them, but sell them from The Rostrum. So I have a lot to thank him for and remember very, very clearly a genuine milestone moment."
