David Dickinson to leave Real Deal?
Reports that antiques collector David Dickinson would be leaving Dickinson’s Real Deal came to light yesterday (April 6).
An article by MailOnline claimed the presenter would be departing the show later this year to spend more time with his wife. Fans of ITV show Dickinson’s Real Deal, now in its 15th series, could not believe the news.
David has no plans to retire from Dickinson’s Real Deal, a show he still very much enjoys making, and is hugely looking forward working on the upcoming series later this month.
This was later followed up by further speculation that he could be replaced by This Morning‘s Dan Hatfield. However, it now appears that the reports could in fact be fake news as the man himself has broken his silence through his reps.
