Wheeler Dealers host Mike Brewer has publicly declared that former co-host Edd China will not be returning to the classic car restoration show. Brewer, who has headlined the program for more than two decades, refuted demands for the pair to unite again. Despite fan outrage, he advised those upset by the decision to cease watching the show altogether. The hosts, who began the program together in 2003, separated professionally in 2017, with Ant Anstead and Marc Priestley filling the co-host roles. Brewer confirmed Edd’s permanent absence during a Q&A on the Wheeler Dealers Facebook page, stating that viewers should instead watch the older series where Edd was a classic.

Edd left the series due to apparent disagreements over the show’s future direction. Brewer confessed he and Edd are currently not speaking and hinted that they last met around seven years ago. To conclude, fans of Edd China will not be seeing him on Wheeler Dealers anymore as per show host Mike Brewer, which is reason enough for those who don’t like this change to stop watching the show.
