British TV chef who ‘ghosted wife and children’ tracked down by social media

A British TV chef who allegedly "ghosted" his wife and children in the US was identified on social media.

Ashley McGuire wrote a Facebook post in an "Are We Dating the Same Guy?" group asking for help locating her spouse, Charles Withers, whom she said she had not seen in a year.

“When I was pregnant with our youngest baby, he decided being a husband and a dad wasn’t the lifestyle he wanted anymore and he ghosted," McGuire said.

Within 24 hours Withers had reportedly been located in Dallas, Texas.

The Independent has approached Withers for comment.
