People Have Been Sending Mike Brewer Death Threats And Edd China Isn’t Happy
Judging by the response to our story about Edd China leaving Wheeler Dealers last week, it seems a lot of you are sad to see him go. However, some have chosen to take their anger about the trigger for Ed’s leaving - the production company ‘dumbing down’ the show - out on presenter Mike Brewer.
China today released a video mentioning that Brewer and his family have been on the receiving end of vitriol from angry Wheeler Dealers fans. He said: “Mike called me at the weekend and told me that over the past few days; not only he, but also his wife and daughter had been receiving a lot of abuse and even death threats, because of my leaving the show, and that’s really NOT cool.” Not cool indeed.
While he conceded Mike is “probably not” his “favourite person at right now” and that “I know for sure I am not his,” he urged fans to move on and look forward to the prospect of potentially having two great workshop-related shows to watch - Wheeler Dealers, and whatever China does next.
It’s sad that China had to make this video at all, but hopefully the abuse aimed at Brewer and his family will now die down.

We need to find these people and we need to beat the sh*the out of them……I mean TICKLE the faeces out of them………😏
Yes! I would love to see Edd have his own show, that would be so rad!!
Really? You should send death threats to the producers. Not Mike. It was the producers that makes Edd leave wheelers dealers.
No one should send death threats.
Sad to say I never heard of Wheeler Dealers.
What a great guy :)
I have the feeling Edd and Colin Furze would make for a darn good show
Edd on motortrend anyone???
I hope Brewer’s family take those threats seriously and report to the police. Hopefully that would shut up those edgy w*nkers.
Edd is such a nice guy
People who do this kind of things are not real car guys. We are a family and respect each other, in good and bad times, remember whow the “Top gear story” went? We had one great show, and now we have two, so look forward to what is coming because we are probably living the same situation. I’m happy to see that everybody here is, obviously, against what has happened to mike. Love you car community, you are the best community in the world!
