BARGAIN Hunt star Charles Hanson today broke his silence after he was charged with assault.
The BBC TV auctioneer, 45, has been accused of seven offences, including coercive control.
Hanson, 45, has now spoken out after The Sun revealed he is due to appear in court next month.
He told the Mail Online: "I deny all the charges. I have never behaved aggressively or unlawfully towards my family.
'We have been through some difficult times in our marriage and it is extremely sad that this has become a criminal matter.

"I will be co-operating fully with the investigation and legal process."
We told how police were called to the £1.5million, six-bedroom home he shared with wife Rebecca, 40, in June.
Hanson, who also appears on Flog It! and Antiques Road Trip, is understood to have since moved out of the house in a picturesque Derbyshire village.
A source said at the time: “It is not the sort of place you expect police to turn up.
“But a car came to the house and they spoke to Charles. It is a tiny village so a few people have been talking about it, as word gets around. It is all very shocking.”
Hanson has now been charged with seven offences, including two of assault causing actual bodily harm, and one of controlling and coercive behaviour.
He is also accused of two counts of assault by beating.
Hanson, who first appeared on Bargain Hunt in 2002, is due to appear at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court on January 10.
