Izzie Balmer is known and loved by fans of Antiques Road Trip and Bargain Hunt for her expert knowledge of jewellery and silver, and while she tends to keep her private life out of the spotlight, the auctioneer sometimes shares glimpses of what she gets up to off-camera on social media.

Taking to Instagram on Monday, the TV presenter revealed that she recently performed with her string quartet at a wedding in Bath.

Izzie shared two photos from the occasion: one of the antiques expert donning an elegant gown whilst holding her viola, as well as another of her and her bandmates wrapped up warm whilst enjoying a well-deserved post-performance meal.

"Instagram versus reality," began the BBC star. "Such a privilege to play at a wedding reception with my string quartet (The Cotswold Quartet) at @priorpark_college with BEAUTIFUL views of @priorparkbath Palladian Bridge and across Bath.

"We went for dinner afterwards and being the nesh person I am, having played for four hours outside in the cold, I had to wrap up with blankets," she added.

Fans rushed to the comments to praise Izzie's stunning look, with one person writing: "Love your dress," while another added: "Beautiful as always Izzy, hope all went well x."
