This Morning's Emma Willis baffled as 'dinosaur egg' bought at car boot worth thousands

This Morning’s Emma Willis was left speechless after an expert revealed the price of what was believed to be a dinosaur egg.

During Thursday’s (August 7) episode of the ITV hit daytime chat show, Emma Willis and Joel Dommett stepped up to the plate to present while Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard are on their summer break.

And with car boot season in full swing, the duo were joined by pawnbroker Dan Hatfield, who was on hand to help viewers sort their trash and treasure.

However it was one viewer's bizarre item that left Emma speechless after finding out the eye-watering valuation.

This Morning viewer Susan appeared on the show via a video link and shared her “unusual” item. Speaking to the hosts and Dan she said she believed she had a dinosaur egg that was passed on to her from her grandmother, who found the unique item at a car boot sale.

A picture of the egg appeared on the screen, Joel was baffled as he asked: “What is this, what is that?”

Everyone burst out laughing as Dan jumped in: “Joel is very confused.” The expert then joked: “It kind of looks like a gone off jacket potato.”

Joel replied: “It doesn’t look that great.” The TV presenter was not convinced that it was really a dinosaur egg as he asked: “A dinosaur egg, who has a dinosaur egg. Do you think it’s a dinosaur egg?”

Emma jumped in: “I mean I really want it to be.” Joel was keen to find out more as he asked Susan: “So what is this?”

Susan began to doubt herself as she replied: “I don’t really know but I wish I did know more. We’ve just grown up calling it a dinosaur egg.”

Unsure of how much the egg was originally purchased for, Susan was keen to find out how much it could be worth today.

Dan admitted: “I can’t tell for sure if this is a dinosaur egg without looking at it in person but does it have the signs of an egg, well it’s in shape and brown like a fossil. I really want it to be and I believe it is a dinosaur egg.”

The pawnbroker then left host Emma lost for words as he revealed: “I bet good money on this being a dinosaur egg, in fact I bet about £2,000 on this being a dinosaur egg because that’s how much they’re worth.”

A baffled Emma replied: “I think the diversity of the things we cover on the show but this has left me... I don’t know what to say, I literally don’t.”

Joel added: “I think we need to get exclusive evidence if this is real or not so I think you need to go away Susan and get it scanned.”

This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1 and ITVX
