British celebrities rummage for collectables and antiques in their homes to be valued and sold at auction, the intention being to raise money for donation to their favourite charities.

She’s been a cookery editor and food columnist for many publications including the Daily Mail and The Guardian. Aside from writing 12 cookery books, including Leith's Cookery Bible, she has a love for fiction and has written seven novels.
