Bargain Hunt Star Charles Hanson Charged with Domestic Abuse Offences

Investigation into Allegations

BARGAIN Hunt star Charles Hanson has been charged following a police probe into domestic abuse allegations. The BBC TV auctioneer, 45, will appear in court next month over seven alleged offences, including assault.

Previous Incident

We previously revealed that police were called in June to the £1.5million country pile he shared with wife Rebecca, 40. Hanson, who also appears on Flog It! and Antiques Road Trip, is understood to have since moved out of the six-bedroom home in a picture-postcard Derbyshire village.

Start of Career

After qualifying as a chartered surveyor, Hanson started his career in 1999 in the ceramics and glass department at Christie’s. He first appeared on Bargain Hunt in 2002, becoming the youngest expert on the team at 25.

Charges and Court Appearance

Police said Hanson has now been charged with seven offences, including two of assault causing actual bodily harm, and one of controlling and coercive behaviour. There are also two counts of assault by beating. Hanson was released on police bail and is set to appear at Southern Derbyshire magistrates’ court on January 10.

Marriage and Personal Life

Hanson met diagnostic radiographer Rebecca through friends in 2008 and they married two years later. The couple moved into their manor home in 2014, paying more than £900,000 for it.

Derbyshire Police said Hanson was charged on December 14 with seven alleged offences. Hanson was approached for comment.
