A short clip of the situation was posted on the Instagram page of the junk show with TV chef Horst Lichter (61), about whose new look some fans recently slandered. The fans of the ZDF program did not find the expert’s faux pas particularly bad: “It can happen sometimes”, “I’m surprised that this doesn’t happen more often. Happens” or “We are all only human, it just happens!” were just some of the comments.

However, some found the expert’s hearty laughter after her mishap funny and judged it to be extremely inappropriate: “Well, the laugh doesn’t fit” and “Yes, yes, destroy it and then laugh so stupidly […]. Something like that doesn’t work at all,” some users complained.

The highest bid so far in “Bares for Rares”

Jewelery expert Susanne Steiger has so far offered the highest bid for an exhibit on the ZDF program. In the special “Bares for Rares” evening edition of July 12, 2018, a Mercedes-Benz Cabriolet 190 SL from 1961 was offered in red. This sports car model was produced between 1955 and 1963. Steiger offered a whopping 90,000 euros. However, the seller refused because he did not want to sell his classic car for less than 100,000 euros.

Laughter from “Bares for Rares” expert not all fans of the show felt appropriate

According to expert Dr. Bianca Berding had already broken off the small cross: “I can say in my defense that it was already repaired”. Nevertheless, the woman from Cologne apologized: “I’m really sorry now.” The expert then reassured the seller that the gluing of the cross would be no problem for a good repairman: “If it’s done well, it’s not noticeable at all”.
