BBC pulls hit series off air
The BBC has hinted at the future of The Repair Shop following lead star Jay Blades' court case. The show was taken off air by the network after Blades was charged with controlling and coercive behavior towards his wife.
Applications for next series now open
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Blades' future on the show, applications for the next series of The Repair Shop have been opened. This move suggests that the show will continue despite the legal issues.
Producers drop biggest hint yet
Producers have indicated that The Repair Shop will go on by opening casting for the upcoming series. Members of the public are invited to apply to have their cherished items restored by Britain's skilled craftspeople on the award-winning show.
Legal proceedings ongoing
Blades appeared in court accused of physical and emotional abuse towards his estranged wife, Lisa Zbozen. The legal proceedings are still ongoing, and the BBC has stated that they will not feature any new shows with Blades until the conclusion of the case.
The Repair Shop's successful history
Despite the current setback, The Repair Shop has been a hit since its launch in 2017. The show even won the award for best daytime TV show, surpassing ITV's This Morning in the competition.
