All for their own but but I find them quite endearing and lovely to see, maybe I just like seeing happy working relationships

Oddly, or coincidentally, the new gems lady with the short bob was a contestant on Dinner Dates a while back.

Some people do seem to pay big money for jewellery, then find out it's actually worth 25% of what they paid.
Back with Claudia and the 'designer' bags next week .

New series starts tonight at 7pm.

This show is dead without Jo. Major loss.

That's such a shame Jo's no longer there. I wonder what's up? It certainly would not have been James' fault as they got on so well.

"I feel like I've had a boil lanced" says James as they show Jo's empty chair. Editorial stirring or a hint at some falling out?

Should flog that statue to the Beckhams. It's actually bloody good.

Seems like she's working for some Mustang dealers in Byfleet.

Her Twitter account doesn't help to say why she left.

I missed the first ten minutes .... So watched it again on C4+1 looking for explanation about Jo ... that didn't come.
That cat ! Should have had one of those "Viewers may find some scenes distressing" warning!

... I imagine the increase in business and staff became a bit much for her ?

I've put some details above about her.

maybe James didn't value her as much as he should have done. Sarcasm doesn't pay the bills.

If she has been headhunted, then she's done the right thing in not bragging about it on social media., as they call it.

Sad to hear she's no longer part of the show, but I'm glad to hear that she's ok. Good Luck to her.

Gutted

I'm getting the distinct feeling this is the last ever series of Posh Pawn. Bunted to 7pm on a Sunday, can't be a good sign.

Jo's lack of air time seemed to coincide with Claudia's appearance so perhaps it was designer handbags at dawn....the live FB video says it's because she didn't like the travelling and only agreed to stay at Hatton Garden for 12 months....it's been open 2 years so that seems unlikely.....

I got the impression she was being diplomatic - there is obviously more to it than her 'moving on'.....

I'd say the bib is the most likely as my first thought when Claudia came on the scene was "who is going to go" because it won't be Claudia. I doubt for a minute that James ever undervalued or underpaid Jo and if it was just about money, which i don't believe it was, he would have offered her an increase.

Whatever it looks like she went early this year as her tweets about Posh Pawn came to an abrupt end in January. From there after she's only tweeted about Bill Shepherd and various Mustang cars.

Jo has been at that Mustang place since March. I would assume she left first then he interviewed people to be his PA but Claudia was the only one we saw.

From what I've read it seems they've been friends for about 20 years and she was previously in the health & fitness industry when he asked her to become his PA.

Definitely not the same without Jo. It's all about handbags now.

Not sure I'll stick with this any longer.

Only one small part of the show was handbags.

Yes, I really miss Jo, part of the show was her banter with James.

Really can't take to Claudia, don't know why, just something about her but she is James' girlfriend so suppose he got her a slot on the show.

Bet it will increase from now on though.

Anything about handbags bores me to tears. They're all the same to me.
