THE Repair Shop fans have gone wild for hunky Will Kirk after an innuendo-filled episode.
BBC One viewers were left blushing after watching the handsome furniture restorer work his magic on irreplaceable heirlooms.
Will brought his expertise to help restore a wooden bear on a carved walnut piano stool.
Proud owner Mary brought along the treasured item, which once belonged to her dear friend Hannah, who had left it to her after she died.
Unfortunately, the stool recently met with an untimely accident and lost a leg at the hands of Mary’s daughter.
Viewers were touched by the heartwarming story but admitted they were left distracted by easy on the eye Will.
Many fans took to social media saying they were lusting after the dashing expert.
One cheeky viewer wrote: “Now I may be biased but I do believe #TheRepairShop could be improved if Will did his repairs topless. The the words, polish and buff would take on a whole new meaning. #JustSaying”
Another flirtatiously posted: “I do like #WillKirk on #TheRepairShop . I could watching smoothing his wood all day.”
Will managed to create a replacement bear and restore the cherished piece back to its former glory.
Viewers watched Will remove previous pins from the wooden stool legs and gave it a polish, wax and a buff to bring the piece back to life.
Fans were left swooning as they watched him concentrate with great precision as he carved out additional detail.
He later reintroduced the seat back to the base of the stool and smoothed out the surface.
A third joked: “I wouldn’t mind being gently buffed by Will @TheRepairShop#therepairshop#repairshop.”
The finished item was a far cry from how the stool first arrived at The Repair Shop – with a broken leg, missing foot, missing plinth and it’s surface dull.
Owner Mary immediately burst into tears after the revamped stool was unveiled.
An overwhelmed Mary said: “You’ve gone beyond.”
Will then asked her to take a seat in the newly restored stool, he said: “I’ve lost half of my nerves, but the other half, I would actually like you to sit in this.”
Mary was chuffed as she took a seat, admitting it was “absolutely beautiful” and praised Will as a “bright bloomin star”.
But over on Twitter, another saucy viewer tweeted: “Will says ‘I would like you sit on this’ and I have a new ringtone on my phone #TheRepairShop.”
During the episode, Will joined forces with Brenton West to restore a 19th-century tippling stick – a walking stick with a hidden tube for whisky inside – thought to have once belonged to King George V.
Another viewer quipped: “I really want a tippling stick now, and I would be very happy if Will were to offer to buff it for me. #TheRepairShop.”
Meanwhile Horologist Steve Fletcher’s knowledge of dials, numbers and needles was called upon to resurrect a broken speedometer from 1920s motor car.
Basket-maker Sarah Hatton used her expertise to repair a wicker baby crib that has fallen into disrepair.
