It's clear Ishy shares close friendships with his BBC co-stars as the star often posts selfies from his road trips on social media.

Back in November, the expert shared a carousel of snaps from the wrap party following the end of filming for the new season, including one of Ishy, Izzie and Roo Irvine dressed to the nines as they posed for pictures. "A snippet of the Road Trip wrap party," he penned in the caption.

Ishy's life away from the cameras

When he's not filming for Antiques Road Trip or working at his antiques shop, Ishy enjoys travelling the world and sharing photos from his incredible trips on social media. Over the last couple of years, Ishy has jetted to some amazing holiday destinations, including Spain, New York and Las Vegas. 

He's also a doting dog dad to his adorable three-year-old Bichon-A-Ranian Mila, who regularly features on his social media page and is referred to as Ishy's "fluffy sidekick".
