Derbyshire Police say the TV antiques expert has been charged with several offences, after officers were called to an address in Quarndon in June.

They include two counts of ABH, two counts of assault and engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour.

The 45-year-old has been released on bail to appear at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates’ Court on 10 January.

Mr Hanson first acted as an antiques expert on the BBC’s Bargain Hunt in 2002.

He has also appeared on Flog It! and Antiques Road Trip.

Mr Hanson is also known for running Hansons Auctioneers, which is based in Etwall, Derbyshire.
