Antiques Road Trip fans have called for auctioneer and presenter Charles Hanson's return to their TV screens.
According to his IMDb page, the 46-year-old hasn't appeared on Celebrity Antiques Road Trip or Bargain Hunt since 2023.
His latest social media post sparked a reaction from fans, who are hoping to see him back on the BBC's antiques programmes sometime soon.
Taking to X this week, Charles posted a throwback photo of him and fellow auctioneer Philip Serrell, who's also known for his appearances on Bargain Hunt and Antiques Road Trip, in celebration of his birthday.
"Happy birthday to one of my best mates, Phil Serrell @PhilipSerrell," he penned. "This was the first year of @AntiqueRoadTrip in 2009 and we modelled a father and son combo."
Philip was quick to respond to the sweet tribute in the combination, quipping: "Cheeky devil".
Meanwhile, fans called for Charles's return to the screen. One person wrote: "It would be lovely to have you back on Bargain Hunt Charles!" while another added: "I hope you will be back on TV soon."
A third fan penned: "@AntiqueRoadTrip Bring back Charles Hanson."

Following a trial at Derby Crown Court in February, the TV expert was found not guilty of coercive control and assault allegations relating to his wife, Rebecca Hanson, with whom he shares two children.

Speaking outside court, the celebrity auctioneer said [per BBC News]: "[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 justice, and here we are today, the sun is shining and I can start my life again."

Charles has been a familiar face on the BBC for decades, having made his debut on Bargain Hunt in 2002. He later joined Flog It! as an expert before appearing on Antiques Road Trip from 2010.
Speaking about why he chose a career in antiques, Charles previously told the BBC: "I chose to work with antiques because I love history; the question ‘if the object could talk what would it tell us’ is what keeps my interest; an auction is a theatre of drama and romance."
