David Dickinson quits daytime TV
David Dickinson is quitting daytime TV to concentrate on his new primetime slot.
He says he's finding it too tiring to record two Bargain Hunt shows a day.
The show, which has a cult following of students, won Most Popular Daytime TV Show at the National TV Awards.
It was moved to a primetime slot earlier this year after regularly attracting two million viewers.
Dickinson said: "At the moment I'm not going to do daytime, only prime-time shows.
"This year I have done 98 shows and it has been like a marathon. I could not do both and had to make a painful decision. I simply couldn't manage daytime."
