Ross started his career in 1963 after leaving school joining a local firm of estate agents and found himself auctioning chickens and turkeys.
[citation needed] He progressed from these to antique furniture, and later established his own auction house in Woburn near Milton Keynes.
[5] Ross held the record for the largest profit on a single item on the Antiques Road Trip when in 2012 he bought a chipped Staffordshire elephant clock for £8 which was sold for £2,700 at auction.
It was produced by father and son team Grahame and Jack Corbyn and released digitally on independent record label Saga Entertainment.
[8][9] [10] In 2018 he re-joined Philip Serrell, James Braxton and a group of celebrities under the new name The Celebs to record a second Christmas single called Rock With Rudolph, to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital.
[11][12] In 2020 amid the COVID-19 crisis, Ross reunited with his fellow BBC antique experts James Braxton, Philip Serrell and the rest of The Celebs which now included Frank Bruno and X Factor winner Sam Bailey to raise money for both Alzheimer's Society and Action for Children.
