Once valued the owner and experts will decide if an item will go up for auction, and if chosen for inclusion in the show it will be included bin an auction a few weeks later.

Everyone who goes along tomorrow will receive a free appraisal of their items, even if they are not chosen for filming.

John Rawlinson, director of visitor experience at The National Museum of the Royal Navy, said: ‘We are really looking forward to welcoming Flog It to the museum.

‘It’s hot on the heels of hosting BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing on HMS M.33 in Portsmouth and a brilliant way to showcase our wonderful museums.’
