Bargain Hunt star leaves home after ‘domestic incident’
BArgAIn Hunt auctioneer charles Hanson has moved out of his family home after police responded to a ‘domestic incident’ at the property.
Mr Hanson, who is also a regular face on popular daytime tV shows including Antiques road trip and Flog It!, had lived at the £1.5million property in rural Derbyshire with wife rebecca Ludlam and their two children since 2014.
But the 45-year-old is understood to have moved out after police were called to an unspecified incident at the six-bedroom home.
A source told the Sun on Sunday: ‘It is not the sort of place you expect police to turn up. It is a tiny village so a few people have been talking. It is all very shocking.’
Derbyshire police confirmed in a short statement: ‘the force was called to reports of a domestic incident at an address in Quarndon on June 13.’
Mr Hanson and Ms Ludlam originally met through friends in 2008. they married two years later in a traditional service at All Saints church in Mackworth, in front of 150 close friends and family members. Speaking in 2010, the auctioneer revealed that he had been late for his very first date with Ms Ludlam, a diagnostic radiographer, but was instantly taken by her natural beauty.
He told the Derbyshire telegraph: ‘She is a beautiful, blonde, elegant and lovely lady.
‘I’m used to dealing with beautiful things but rebecca is the most beautiful treasure of all and I’m very lucky she is my wife. We’re very busy people but we understand each other very well and I think we’ll be very happy together.’ they moved into the family home nine years ago after purchasing it for a reported £920,000.
But a woman at the property told the Sun on Sunday: ‘I can’t comment. But what I can say is that he’s moved out. He’s not here any more.’
A chartered surveyor, Mr Hanson gained experience at christie’s before opening his own auction house in 2005. He made his first appearance on Bargain Hunt in 2002.
