Eric Knowles has been a familiar face for decades but not many people know about his childhood
Eric Knowles, a familiar face on BBC's Bargain Hunt, is renowned for his antiques expertise. However, his life hasn't always been smooth sailing, as he faced a challenging childhood due to a cancer scare that led to hospitalisation. His past remained largely private until he appeared on a BBC programme called Matron, Medicine and Me, where he explored the evolution of the NHS through his personal experiences.
During the programme, Eric also discovered other medical advancements that have enabled the NHS to cure most cases of childhood leukaemia. There were some emotional moments when Eric had the opportunity to meet a young patient undergoing cancer treatment, reports the Express . Echoing his time working as a porter at the auction house Bonhams, Eric joined hospital porters Steven Shaw and Andy McHale during one of their shifts.
