Charles Hanson, the star of *Bargain Hunt*, is on trial at Derby Crown Court, charged with controlling or coercive behavior, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and assault by beating. He was arrested on June 14, 2023. During a police interview, Hanson claimed an alleged headlock incident, which occurred while his pregnant wife Rebecca was involved in an argument, was a "loving" hug. He described his wife as a "fantasist" who exaggerates. Rebecca Hanson testified that her husband subjected her to violence over a decade, starting in 2012. The court also heard about an incident in May 2023 where Hanson allegedly pushed her, which he dismissed as a "tiny prod." The trial is ongoing.
