As of 2 September 2026, no new wife can be reliably identified for Drew Pritchard from the public evidence reviewed. His current marital status has not been publicly verified, and there is no dependable first-party announcement or authoritative record in the available sources confirming that he has remarried. Online claims naming Debbie Harris as Drew Pritchard’s wife remain unverified.
Pritchard is the Welsh antiques dealer best known for Salvage Hunters. His documented public history is much clearer about his former marriage to Rebecca Pritchard, his decades in architectural salvage and antiques, and his current work than it is about any later relationship.
Need to know
- Drew Pritchard’s current marital status was not publicly confirmed as of 2 September 2026.
- Claims naming Debbie Harris as his new wife are unsupported by strong, independent evidence.
- Rebecca Pritchard is publicly documented as his former wife and was also professionally connected to his antiques business.
- Pritchard built his career through stained-glass restoration, architectural salvage and antiques before becoming widely known through Salvage Hunters.
- He stepped back from television in late 2024 and now focuses on antiques sourcing, interiors and his Tetbury showroom.
Rebecca Pritchard
Rebecca Pritchard is the former wife who can be responsibly identified from Drew Pritchard’s documented public history. She was also connected with his professional life, including television work associated with Salvage Hunters and formal roles within Drew Pritchard Limited.
The clearest independent record of that business connection comes from Companies House. Rebecca Jane Pritchard served as company secretary and, during different periods, as a director. Her final listed secretary and directorship roles ended on 31 October 2016.
Those corporate filings should not be used to infer the date of the couple’s divorce. They document company appointments, not marital status. Drew and Rebecca are widely reported as having divorced in 2017, but that specific year was not verified here against a primary civil divorce record.
The documented record therefore supports a straightforward description: Rebecca was Drew’s former wife and a professional associate. Unsupported explanations for why their marriage ended, or speculative accounts of their private family life, are not necessary to understand his later public story.
The Debbie Harris claim
The name Debbie Harris appears in several online stories describing her as Drew Pritchard’s new wife, but the claim does not rest on sufficiently reliable evidence.
A July 2024 article published by DWB Film asserted that Pritchard had married Harris in 2023. The inspected article did not provide a marriage record, a named first-hand witness, a direct statement from Pritchard or independently sourced reporting that established the marriage.
Later pages appear to repeat or expand the same narrative rather than independently confirm it. One London Wire article is internally inconsistent: parts of the page acknowledge that the supposed relationship lacks official confirmation, while another section claims a later public marriage announcement and adds wedding details. The page ultimately returns to saying there is no official confirmation.
A derivative presentation uploaded shortly afterward repeated the Debbie Harris story while still containing unfilled template-style placeholders. That helps explain how an unsupported claim can become more visible online without becoming better evidenced.
For that reason, Debbie Harris should not be presented as Pritchard’s wife, girlfriend or confirmed partner. Nor is there a sound basis for publishing a profile of her age, profession, background or personal life in connection with Pritchard.
Other weak biography pages have offered a different woman’s name and a different wedding chronology. Those conflicting versions make the broader remarriage narrative less, not more, reliable.
Early life and training
Andrew Thomas Pritchard was born in 1970 in Conwy, North Wales. Companies House lists his birth month as June 1970.
His career began well before television. According to his official biography, he trained between 1986 and 1993 in historic stained-glass conservation, design and restoration, alongside techniques connected with period buildings.
In interviews with Homes & Antiques, Pritchard has described an early fascination with old and discarded objects. He recalled growing up around items collected by his father, including antiques, instruments and motorbikes, and searching beaches, local tips and the countryside for things that could be recovered and resold.
He has also said that he wanted to become an antiques dealer by around age 11 and saw restoration as a practical route into the trade. That helps explain the shape of his later career: his expertise developed first through understanding materials, construction and repair, then through learning how to recognize value in objects others might overlook.
One example from his early dealing years captures that connection between restoration knowledge and buying judgment. In a Homes & Antiques account of entering the trade, Pritchard recalled recognizing the importance of stained-glass windows associated with William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones and spending £2,600, then essentially all the money he had, to acquire them.
Building an antiques business
Drew Pritchard Limited was incorporated on 25 June 2003 and remained active when checked in September 2026.
Pritchard’s business developed around architectural salvage, decorative antiques and sourcing distinctive pieces. His interviews describe a working method based on sustained looking and research rather than a fixed formula: travelling long distances, studying auction catalogues and websites, visiting museums and building enough subject knowledge to recognize objects worth pursuing.
That background became central to his public appeal. The television persona was built on work he was already doing in the trade: finding overlooked material, judging its quality, negotiating a purchase and deciding whether restoration could reveal or preserve its value.
His advice to aspiring dealers has followed the same pattern. In a 2022 interview, he emphasized studying books and auction catalogues and spending time in museums. The message was less about instant instinct than about developing an informed eye.
Salvage Hunters and wider public work
Pritchard’s official television history lists the BBC programme The Reclaimers in 2004. His defining screen role arrived with Salvage Hunters in 2011.
The series followed him as he travelled in search of antiques, decorative objects and architectural pieces. Rather than focusing only on pristine collectibles, the programme often centred on items whose condition, history or design potential could be reassessed through restoration and specialist knowledge.
According to Pritchard’s official television page, Salvage Hunters ultimately ran for 20 series across 14 years. That long run made him recognizable well beyond the professional antiques trade.
His books extended the same public profile. Penguin published Man with a Van: My Story, with the paperback edition released in March 2022, and describes it as a Sunday Times bestseller. His follow-up, How Not to Be an Antiques Dealer: Everything I’ve Learnt, That Nobody Told Me, was published by Penguin on 25 May 2023.
Taken together, the television series and books made visible a career that had already been built through restoration, salvage and dealing. They did not replace that trade background; they translated it for a broader audience.
Why the remarriage rumours persist
The confusion around Drew Pritchard’s relationship status comes partly from repetition. Once a specific name or wedding story appears on a biography or entertainment site, other pages can reproduce it until the detail begins to look established.
That is what makes the “new wife” claim especially misleading. Several pages may appear to say similar things, but the underlying evidence is not independent. Some repeat the same name, while others supply incompatible names, dates or supposed announcements.
The weakness is not merely the absence of an official statement. It is the lack of a stable, verifiable chronology supported by strong sources.
Photographs, public appearances, social-media follows or visual resemblance would not solve that problem either. None of those establishes a marriage on its own, particularly when identifying a potentially private person.
The accurate position is therefore limited but clear: Pritchard’s previous marriage to Rebecca is part of his documented public history, while a later spouse has not been reliably established.
Current work
Pritchard’s professional life has moved into a different phase since Salvage Hunters. His official television page says he stepped back from television in late 2024 to concentrate on other work.
As of September 2026, his official business site presents him as active in antiques sourcing and interior consultancy and lists a showroom at 39a Long Street in Tetbury. Local reporting had covered plans for the Tetbury shop in 2025 before the official site later confirmed it as operating.
He has also publicly discussed restoring a Georgian townhouse in Bath. The project fits naturally with the same interests that shaped his career: historic buildings, original materials, restoration and decorative objects.
That current professional picture is far better documented than his private relationship status. He remains active in the antiques and interiors world, but his move away from regular television does not provide evidence of any change in his marital life.
Conclusion
The best-supported answer to the search for Drew Pritchard’s new wife is that no current spouse can be responsibly named from the verified public record as of 2 September 2026. Claims linking him to Debbie Harris remain unsupported, and competing versions of the supposed remarriage make confident online biographies even less reliable.
What is firmly documented is Pritchard’s long career: from stained-glass restoration and architectural salvage to Salvage Hunters, publishing and his current antiques and interiors work in Tetbury. His professional story is public and well established; his present relationship status should not be filled in with speculation.
