Bargain Hunt expert Mark Stacey has been a staple of the BBC antiques show since 2009, and in that time he has managed to keep his private life out of the spotlight. The auctioneer, who was made famous on shows like Flog It!, Antiques Road Trip and Make Me A Dealer, is in a relationship with his husband Santiago.

The pair have shared a few pictures together over the years, and were even pictured heading to an antiques centre together in 2024, where they browsed furniture and ornaments together. Mark tends to refer to his partner as "Santi", and the pair have supported each other through the years.

When Mark broke his ankle in 2015, it was Santi who pushed him around in a wheelchair, with Mark joking that his partner was his "new driver".

Mark and Santi officially married in September 2024, sharing a sweet snap of the big day with Mark rocking a pale pink suit and Santi in a brown number, both with flowers at their lapels.

Sharing an anniversary post in 2025, he said: "Year ago today finally got a ring!"

In December 2025, everything changed for the pair as they announced they were upping sticks and moving to Spain together.

Mark wrote on Instagram: "In 2026 in Pamplona, Feliz Año Nervou. Exciting year ahead for Santi and I as we will be moving permanently to Spain."

The pair posed with their Christmas tree all set up in their new home, but some fans were left distressed as they worried Mark would be absent from TV screens.

One fan wrote: "Hola! Huge congratulations but hope you will still be popping up on our screens too!"

Another chimed in: "So happy for you both but will miss you!"
