Bargain Hunt auctioneer Charles Hanson has been cleared of coercive control and assault allegations relating to his wife.
The 46-year-old was accused of being violent towards Rebecca Hanson over an eight-year period.
The charges were brought after he was arrested in June 2023.
The TV auctioneer, from Mackworth, Derby, denied controlling or coercive behaviour spanning from 2015 to 2023, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and assault by beating. The two assault charges related to incidents in 2015 and 2023.
During the trial, Hanson claimed his wife had controlled him. He told the court he was "almost a slave" to her, saying she left him "a beaten and broken man" by controlling him and making him subservient towards her.
She had claimed her husband was violent towards her and put her in a headlock in 2012, while she was pregnant with a baby she later lost.
Mrs Hanson also alleged her husband repeatedly "grabbed" her, scratched her as she tried to snatch a mobile phone and pushed her twice during a row.
The auctioneer told the court his wife was allowed "to do what she wanted" but had experienced "moments and episodes" including one which saw her claim his legs being crossed amounted to abuse.
Jurors deliberated for around four and a half hours before delivering not guilty verdicts on all charges.
As the verdicts were returned, Hanson smiled at his parents, who were sat in the front row of the public gallery at Derby Crown Court, and gave them a thumbs-up.

After thanking the jurors for their care in considering the case, Judge Martin Hurst told Hanson: "You have been found not guilty. That is the end of the case. You will hear no more about it and you are free to go."
The TV star's parents wept and hugged their son after he was discharged from the dock.
Hanson 'relieved this is all over'
Speaking to reporters outside the court, Hanson said: "I'm delighted that after a year and a half, the truth has finally come out.
"I can finally live my life again. I feel this burden has finally been lifted.
"It has been a tormentuous time and all I want now is to readjust to what has been such an ordeal," he continued. "I am so relieved that this is all over."
As well as regularly featuring on Bargain Hunt, Hanson has appeared on Flog It! and Antiques Road Trip.
