Wheeler Dealers host Mike Brewer claimed feeling hurt and used by Edd China, his former co-host, after their separation seven years ago. Brewer stated, after co-presenting Wheeler Dealers for 13 years starting in 2003, he was left devastated when China decided to leave the popular car restoration show in March 2017. China left to start his own shows and a YouTube channel and cited disagreements over the show’s direction as his main reason for leaving. While there’s no stated feud between them, Brewer expressed a sense of loss and felt like he was just a stepping stone for China’s career. After China’s departure, the show welcomed Ant Anstead as a co-host for three seasons, and since 2021, McLaren F1 mechanic Marc Priestley has been on the show.
