Bargain Hunt's Charles Hanson questioned by cops over 'domestic row' and leaves his £1.5m home

Bargain Hunt star Charles Hanson has left his £1.5million home after reportedly being questioned by the police over an alleged domestic row.

He shares the six-bedroom house with his wife Rebecca - who he met through friends in 2008. Two years later, the duo tied the knot and welcomed two children, Matilda and Frederick. Charles and Rebecca purchased their Derbyshire manor for almost a million pounds in 2014.

According to sources, the Flog It! star has since left the home. "It is not the sort of place you expect police to turn up," a source told The Sun. But a car came and they spoke to Charles." Another source claimed he is "not there [at the house] anymore." Mirror have contacted his representatives for comment.

The 45-year-old is best known for his appearances as an antiques expert on Bargain Hunt, Flog It! and Antiques Road Trip. His career began in 1999 at Christie's as a valuer in the European Ceramics and Glass Department. Six years later, he founded Hansons Auctioneers and Valuers.

Earlier this year, Charles talked about his rise to fame and the mistakes he made throughout his career. "It was a sort of big thing to start my own," he said to Daily Express. "So when I was 27 years old, I wasn't married, had no dependents and you know, I made a few mistakes but you learn and you build it slowly."

The auctioneer previously opened up about personal loss. Before his daughter Matilda was born, he and Rebecca lost their newborn son, Tommy, in 2012. He told Staffordshire Live at the time: "After losing Tommy, who was born asleep in September 2012, we were overjoyed to have Matilda, who was born in 2014, and who has a calm and relaxed nature, just like my wife."

Rebecca, who is a radiographer, added: “What happened was terrible and it could not have come at a worse time for us.”

During the same year, Charles was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Speaking to The Mirror at the time, he said: "Being diagnosed with ­testicular cancer was a real shock. I’ve been fit and healthy for years so you don’t think something like that is going to get you. It had been a busy summer with filming and auctions, but last August, I had just got out of the shower when I noticed things felt wrong."
