The 46-year-old Bargain Hunt star denies all of the allegations
Bargain Hunt TV auctioneer Charles Hanson carried out a decade of violence against his wife, Derby Crown Court heard. The 46-year-old put Rebecca Hanson in a headlock, threw a phone at her, pushed and prodded her from around two years into their marriage, a jury was told.
Stephen Kemp, prosecuting, opened the case on Monday, February 10, and told the jury of seven women and five men: “Mr Hanson met the woman who was to become his wife, Rebecca Hanson, in 2008. They married a couple of years later, in 2010. The marriage started off happily, as most marriages do. However, as time went on, things began to change and Charles Hanson began, on occasion, to use violence against his wife, that's what the prosecution allege.
Mr Kemp said: "As a result of these incidents and other strains in the marriage, Rebecca Hanson confided, from time to time, in her own mother and indeed in the defendant’s mother, Gillian Hanson. By early 2023, Rebecca had reached the stage where she felt she had to leave Mr Hanson and she told Gillian Hanson this.
