Rebecca Pritchard: What Do We Know About Drew Pritchard’s Wife?
Drew Pritchard is perhaps best known as the host of Salvage Hunters. The antique dealer has been hosting the show for over ten years now, while also trading independently in antiques.
We know a lot about Drew’s taste in interiors and design – but we know a lot less about his personal life. So, let’s find out a little bit more about the antique dealer, starting with Drew Pritchard’s wife Rebecca Pritchard.
Who is Rebecca Pritchard, and are the two still together?
Who is Rebecca Pritchard?
Rebecca Pritchard is known as the wife of antique dealer Drew Pritchard. She also co-presented Drew’s show Salvage Hunters and Salvage Hunters: The Restore.
However, Rebecca Pritchard hasn’t always worked in antiques. Before she started presenting Salvage Hunters, she worked in women’s fashion. As such, she has extensive knowledge about manufacturing and also spent time working in Hong Kong.

Now, Rebecca splits her time between her own dealer work and her work on TV, and she also has a private business sourcing antiques for clients.
Her business work doesn’t stop there, though. Rebecca also enjoys property development and has previously run a campsite, a B&B, and a holiday park.
With all of this on the go, it’s a miracle that Rebecca Pritchard has any time left over for Salvage Hunters!
Now that we know all about Rebecca, what do we know about her relationship with Salvage Hunters‘ Drew Pritchard?
Their Relationship
Rebecca and Drew Pritchard reportedly met through one of Rebecca’s property development businesses. There was clearly a spark between the two, and they eventually got married.
Fans of Salvage Hunters frequently saw Rebecca turn up in the show as one of the office staff of Drew’s antique shop in Conwy.
However, in 2017, after Salvage Hunters had been airing for six years, the two called it quits with their relationship.
The reason? Well, according to rumors, Drew had been seeing another woman for a while…

In fact, this other woman is rumoured to be Amanda Thomas. We don’t know how these two met, but it could have been through his TV show or his many other business ventures.
However, despite the divorce, Drew and Rebecca have been forced to remain close. This is because they both decided to remain on Salvage Hunters after 2017 and because they share a son, born in 1992.
Unsurprising considering his parents are British celebrities, their son has chosen to stay out of the spotlight and we don’t know much about him. We do know that he was 25 years old when his parents divorced, so hopefully the shock didn’t affect him too much!
Where Does Drew Pritchard Live?
Now that the pair of antique dealers have split up, where do they both live? Well, for many years, Drew Pritchard lived in a converted chapel in North Wales.
He moved in in 1995, well before he started presenting the wheeler-dealer antique show. He spent many years renovating the property and filling it with interiors that represent his eclectic taste in antiques.
We can only assume that this home is also where Rebecca Pritchard lived while she was married to Drew.
In fact, Drew admitted that the house was a family home. He said: “As a family we’ve had great times, it’s a great party house. No matter where I was on a buying trip, I’d travel four or five hours just to get home for the night.”

However, in 2016, he finally sold his first house. It can’t be a coincidence that this was just a year before his and his ex-wife Rebecca’s divorce! Trying to downsize, Drew?
But it sounds like Drew wasn’t attached to the house. He said: “I’m not sentimental. It’s a mistake to be sentimental in my business. You end up hanging on to things you should be selling, with the result that you make no money at all.”
And if you’re wondering, Rebecca now lives in Chester. However, as befits a quirky antique dealer, she also has a boathouse in London.
