TV auctioneer Charles Hanson has claimed he was “almost a slave” to his wife, who left him “a beaten and broken man” by controlling him and making him subservient to her.

The 46-year-old Bargain Hunt and Antiques Road Trip star told Derby Crown Court his wife Rebecca Hanson was allowed “to do what she wanted” but would not let him watch TV in bed, and falsely accused him of having athlete’s foot.
