TV Auctioneer Marries Pool Hall Sweetheart

Bargain Hunt star James Lewis recently exchanged vows with Ed Otter in a heartfelt ceremony attended by 50 guests. The couple's union took place last September, with Lewis's daughter Arabella playing a special role.

Lewis, an antiques auctioneer, met his husband 15 years prior during a casual game of pool. Despite a significant age difference, their connection was immediate. The wedding almost didn't happen as planned, with the couple initially considering eloping to the United States.

Tragically, Lewis experienced a health scare on his wedding day, with his heart rate exceeding 250 beats per minute, a serious concern given his history of two cardiac arrests. His doctors had cautioned against stressful events, but Lewis remains committed to his charitable endeavors.

Ed Otter now works alongside Lewis at their auction house, a role described as easier and kinder than previous professional relationships. Their shared passion for animals and conservation deepens their bond, influencing their holiday choices and weekend activities.
