Taking to X – formerly known as Twitter – he shared the joyous news with his loyal legion of fans online. He penned: [Cheering megaphone emoji] Thrilled to announce that I will be re-joining @antiquesontour with my pals for all the remaining dates of the 2025 tour starting in Neath & Bristol. See you there [waving emoji].”

The dad-of-two shared a snap of himself beaming beside his co-stars Phillip Serrell, Charlie Ross, and Christina Trevanion. It didn’t take long before fans flooded to the comments to shower the broadcaster with praise at his overdue return online.

One user penned: “As you should. You are missed, your knowledge, your energy, and your spontaneous fun. Bargain Hunt next, then [Antiques] Road Trip, then the [Antiques Road Trip] Celebrities. You need to be back in the fold [sparkle emoji, glasses cheering emoji]” to which Charles replied: “Thank you [heart emoji].”

Another penned: “Look!! [shifty eyes emoji, They’re getting the band back together!!! [sparkle emoji] Woo-hoo! [smiling emoji].” A third echoed: “Welcome back Charles, hope it won’t be long until you are back on #BargainHunt and the ilk!!”

A fourth chimed in with: “Glad to hear that Charles, miss seeing you on TV. I watch the repeat [Antiques] Road Trips on Really channel 17, they’re hilarious with you in them [smiling emoji].”

It comes after the broadcaster shared an emotional speech following his not guilty verdict after a two-week long trial with his ex-wife. Speaking outside court following the hearing, Mr Hanson said being cleared was "a delight", adding: "[The last 18 months] have been extremely upsetting.

"I've missed my children and quite simply I can now get back to my life, and I relish that. I've experienced a long time of upset and I always believed in justicem and here we are today, the sun is shining and I can start my life again.

"[The trial has] been very impactful and I'm very lucky that my parents have stood by me from start to finish. Without my family it would have been a very testing time. To anyone who knows me, who's believed in me, who's supported me, who's messaged me, to everybody out there - thank you."
