Who is the presenter of Dickinson’s Real Deal?
David Dickinson is the host of Dickinson’s Real Deal, a UK television show about contemporary antiques and collectibles that airs on ITV.
Dickinson made his television debut in 1998 after an accidental encounter with a TV producer at a BBQ that resulted in a two-part BBC documentary about him and his preparation for an Olympia performance.
The spectators were instantly drawn in by his dark complexion (commonly thought to be a false tan, but he claims it is due to his Armenian origin) and several catchphrases.
