Drew Pritchard has kept fans entertained thanks to his superior knowledge of antiques on Salvage Hunters over the years.
But when he and his wife Rebecca split, followers of the show became concerned for the star- and hoped that he’d once again find love.
So does Drew Pritchard actually have a new wife?
Let’s get the goss…
Drew Pritchard New Wife
For the moment, Drew Pritchard is single.
After he and Rebecca parted ways, the TV star has concentrated on his work, and is spending his time on antique restoration.
The couple were married until 2017. But their divorce came as a bit of a shock to fans.
Nobody really knows the reason why they split, but there’s been a LOT of allegations of infidelity.
Drew was attacked by the husband of a woman he’d allegedly had an affair with. This sent fans into meltdown.

Michael Baggot: Where is the Flog It star now?
Drew had been goading Janus through a series of text messages after sleeping with his wife. Janus Bryn Thomas said he was smirked at by Drew Pritchard after he sent a text message to his wife at a pub in Conwy.
Janus then “swung out with his left hand in a rage” as he made a move to attack the reality star.
Drew was knocked to the ground, dropping his drink and glasses. His attacker had to be pulled off the TV personality by other drinkers.
Oh dear…
At magistrates court, Janus claimed he had been “provoked” by Drew since he’d been having an affair with his wife two years previously.
There was even talk that the star was involved with more women…
Defence solicitor Michael Gray said:
“When that affair came to an end, Mrs Thomas received harassing text messages from other women who had been seeing Mr Pritchard, accusing her of breaking up their relationships and being extremely hurtful towards her.”
Marriage
After all this, we’re not really surprised that things fell apart between Drew and Rebecca Pritchard.

Ben Fogle Net Worth: How much cash does the presenter have?
The couple used to present Salvage Hunters as a team, and would use their expertise to restore antiques. Drew would bring back interesting antiques from his travels, and Rebecca would assess them.
They’d then suss out the costs of restoring each item, how much profit they’d make, and get to work!
But when the couple split, their time together on Salvage Hunters came to an end. Rebecca Pritchard ended up leaving the show, and was replaced by John Tee.
But all isn’t lost for the antiques queen. Since her divorce with Drew, Rebecca has gone on to invest in property refurbishments, and currently runs a B&B and holiday let business. Nice work Rebecca!
Career
Ex wife Rebecca has some pretty extensive knowledge about antiques- but Drew has been able to give her a serious run for her money.
Drew Pritchard has been working as an independent antique dealer for over 26 years now. He initially trained as a stained glass restorer and designer.
His passion for antiques is boundless. He generally prefers untouched pieces, and says that he “unapologetically buys from the 17th to 21st century and enjoy the mix of objects it creates”.

The star has continued to share his expertise with viewers, and it seems like his hard work is paying off.
Salvage Hunters has now become the biggest show on the Discovery channel- which has been music to Drew’s ears.
Making the announcement on Twitter, the antique dealer said:
“Discovery’s biggest ever UK rating …. well what can we say but a huge thank you too all of you for watching myself and @Teeinavan for a decade…@SalvageHunters_ goes from strength to strength”.
