The Repair Shop to air royal special with King Charles III restoring family heirlooms

Jay Blades and The Repair Shop team have filmed an incredible royal special - fixing two items for King Charles III.

The programme, in which family heirlooms are restored by a team for their owners, was filmed with HRH The Prince of Wales before his accession to the Throne back in Autumn 2021 to explore their “shared passion of preserving heritage craft skills”.

Jay and Will Kirk appeared on The One Show to chat with Lauren Lavern and Jermaine Jenas about the show.

He revealed: "Former Prince of Wales is who we filmed with, now known as King Charles the third."

Jermaine responded: "That must have been an incredible experience."

They then showed a sneak peak of the special episode.

Jay added that he 'never thought they would get on like that', with Will joked they seemed like they 'go way back'.

Appearing at Cheltenham Literature festival on Monday, Jay was asked about becoming a major TV star and had responded by hinting that something big was due to be announced.

He said: "I'm getting there but I still have work to do.

"I'm sworn to secrecy but in a couple of weeks you are going to see something that will potentially take me up another notch. I'm sworn to secrecy, secrecy at the highest level."
