Wikipedia Bio / Profile Background
Introduction :
- Charles Hanson is a well-known TV presenter and auctioneer, amongst the antiques community of Britain. He gained public interest due to his openness & honesty around the numerous tragedies within his family, surrounding his children & himself.
Charles Hanson Family, Education & Personal Life :
- Charles Hanson was born in May 1978.
- He resides in South Derbyshire with his long-time wife Rebecca Hanson (maiden name Rebecca Ludlam).
- The pair married in 2010 and enjoyed a traditional wedding at All Saints Church, in Mackworthand. They were dating two years prior to that.
- The couple now has two children, Matilda Hanson and Frederik Hanson. Matilda was born in April 2014 after intense IVF treatment. Charles once jokingly tweeted in 2014 that Matilda watched him on Antiques Roadtrip for the first time, and was not impressed!
- The pair’s first child, a son named Tommy (full name Thomas William Hanson), was tragically born asleep in September 2012. Since that time, Charles and Rebecca have worked to raise awareness of the issue of stillborn babies. Many of Charles’s colleagues from Antiques Road Trip even ran the Great North Run and helped raised close to £40,000 for the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society.
Charles Hanson Children :
- Hanson has been praised for his honesty regarding the difficult loss of his first son and the subsequent troubled pregnancy with his third child in 2016.
- During Rebecca’s pregnancy with Frederik, they discovered that the kid suffered from a rare antibody found in his blood.
- Due to this, Rebecca delivered him via caesarean at 32 weeks pregnant. He faced the normal difficulties of any premature baby, but has managed to fight through and is now thriving.
- Charles has been open about the difficulties that he and Rebecca faced during pregnancies and has said his children leave him feeling continually blessed.
Net Worth, Salary & Television Career :
- Hanson was drawn to his career with antiques due to his love of history. He has stated that whenever an object is presented to him, his first thought is “If this object could talk, what story would it tell us?”
- He found TV success on the BBC programme Bargain Hunt, before making the jump in 2016 to For What Its Worth. He has since appeared on that project as an expert on antiques.
- He has stated that his most successful and interesting auction to date centred on a Chinese vase, which sold for 300,000 pounds.
Branching into Other Businesses :
- In 2005, Charles established his own firm Hansons Auctioneers and Valuers. The firm runs in Heage Lane, and to this day Hanson acts as the Managing Director.
Cancer Battle, Sick & Ill :
- Hanson was detected with testicular cancer in 2012. He was surprised as he was always fit prior to that. In August 2012, he had an operation to remove the cancerous tissue.
- Charles didn’t opt for chemo as it could have hampered his fertility and he wanted to have more children. The doctors continue to monitor him regularly.
Interesting Facts and Trivia :
- When asked what he would do if he was not in this industry, Charles has repeatedly answered quite animatedly that he has absolutely no idea. He has stated that his love for his job stops him from being able to imagine doing anything else in life.
- Hanson has stated that the one thing he absolutely cannot live without is chocolate.
- He collects antique furniture & has a passion for 70’s dance music such as ABBA.
- He has been quoted as saying that he knew he was destined to succeed in this industry after finding a specific ornament at a local jumble for 50 pence, which he was later able to sell at auction for 180 pounds!

If difficulties in life were an acceptable excuse for acting like the village idiot we would all get a free pass. I would prefer to see a LOT LESS of Hanson and his long list of immature antics that include but are not limited to sickening sexual advances.
I adore Charles Hanson. He brings happiness and joy every time he appears on tv. Best wishes to Charles and his family.
Juvenile, annoying and silly behaviour. Tragic acting – from a grown man. *sigh*
At least he is fun and happy after all he has lived through. YOU ARE THE MISERY
Charles Hanson is British, not American.
I must confess that I was astounded to see that statement. Charles is absolutely British.
I am over 70, lover of antiques, though never make a profit, I just love buying from charity shops and eBay.
Watching Charles when auctioneering, the way he brings life into selling, making sure he gets best results makes me adore him. I wish you long life and happiness.
I adore Charles Hanson. He is a joyous individual. One wishes the very best for him as he exudes happiness. He is wonderfully eccentric, highly intelligent, and so knowledgeable in his chosen field. I am so glad that he is in this world, and wish him and his family many blessings.
I often enjoy watching you. You have had significant trials……………..But hey……………Keep smiling!!! Lesley
I’m sorry to say it but although I am totally heterosexual I do have a man crush on Charles, he comes across as so much fun to be around and makes antiques so exciting. I love Antiques Road Show when he is on it, the best shows being those shared with Catherine…But regardless of who is on it, I love the show.
You make antiques exciting. I love watching you. I wish you happiness and good health. Thank you.
Charles you are a one off, you make antiques exciting to watch and your eccentricity brings humour and interest to your programme. I wish you and your Family very good health happiness and continued success, I like your style kind Regards David.
Mr Hanson is the joker of the pack /wildcard.
I can confirm that he is over 6′. Whether it is by one or two inches, i’m not exactly sure
This has been bugging me. Do we know what height Charles Hanson is, but I seem to recall Charles saying on an episode of antiques road trip a few years ago he’s 6’2″. I look online and there is not much on this, apart from a website called celebrity heights which listed him as 6’1 (185cm), Can anyone confirm for definite what it is?
