BARGAIN Hunt’s Charles Hanson put on “an act” in friendly video messages to his wife but his behaviour was “really controlling”, she told a court. Jurors at the telly auctioneer’s trial were yesterday shown clips sent to Rebecca of him with people he met while working. But she said: “It’s a TV personality, it’s an act.”. In another video filmed by Hanson at the couple’s home, he rearranged the furniture thinking his wife would be “pleased”.

She accused of him of playing “mind games”, the court heard, and she said: “He’s doing exactly what he wants without my consideration. "He knew I would not be pleased. "He got what he wanted knowing I did not want this.”. Rebecca alleges his abuse started when she was pregnant in 2012. Hanson, 46, of Mackworth, Derbys, denies controlling or coercive behaviour and assault. The trial at Derby crown court continues.
