Bargain Hunt auctioneer Charles Hanson has been charged with assault and coercion following a police investigation into allegations of domestic violence.
Seven charges were brought against the 45-year-old, including two for assault occasioning actual bodily harm and one for controlling and coercive behavior.
Earlier this year, Charles moved out of his £1.5million family home, which he shared with his wife Rebecca Ludlam.
According to The Sun, police were called to the property after an unspecified incident occurred at the six-bedroom Derbyshire property.
An insider told the publication: “It's not the place you expect the police to turn up… It's a tiny village so a few people have been chatting. 'It's all very shocking.'

Who is Charles Hanson's wife, Rebecca Ludlam?
Charles Hanson made his first appearance on Bargain Hunt in 2002.
Eight years later, he married his wife Rebecca Ludlam in Derbyshire in 2010 after the couple met through friends.
In a January interview with the Daily Express, Charles spoke about how “happy” he was to be with Rebecca.
He said: “She is a beautiful, blonde, elegant and lovely lady.” “I am used to dealing with beautiful things but Rebecca is the most beautiful treasure of all and I am very lucky that she is my wife.”
Rebecca's job is a far cry from her husband's public role, as she is employed as a diagnostic radiology assistant.
Speaking to the Daily Express, Charles explained that both of them had their busy work schedules under control.
He revealed that the two are “very happy together” despite being very busy.
In another interview with the publication in 2010, Rebecca explained: “As he is very generous, he sometimes finds it difficult to say no and this often means he is very busy.”
“But when he's gone I can usually turn on the TV and see if he's there and that's always a nice feeling.”

Do Charles Hanson and Rebecca Ludlam have children?
The couple welcomed their daughter into the world in 2014. Two years later their son was born.
The couple experienced great heartache when their first child, Tommy, was stillborn in 2012.
After losing their first son, Charles told Staffordshire Live about the parents' ordeal.
Rebecca admitted: “What happened was terrible and it couldn’t have come at a worse time for us.”
The heartbreak came just weeks after the Bargain Hunt star was diagnosed with testicular cancer.
Charles told MyLondon: “I remember driving to the hospital in tears. “We were so worried but I guess we still hoped the baby would be okay.
Commenting on his cancer diagnosis, the expert told The Mirror: “Being diagnosed with testicular cancer was a real shock.”
“I’ve been fit and healthy for years, so you don’t think something like this would happen to you.”
“It's been a busy summer of filming and auctions, but last August I was just getting out of the shower when I realized everything felt wrong.”
