Widower breaks down on The Repair Shop as late wife's jukebox plays wedding song again

BBC One viewers were left in tears tonight after a Repair Shop guest broke down when his beloved jukebox got a makeover.

Widower Geoff told the repair experts that he was determined to fix the musical box in a bid to hear his late wife's favourite song on it once again.

Geoff's beloved wife Marie passed away a number of years ago, and he held memories of the pair waltzing to the particular tune which they used as their first dance at their wedding.

Viewers immediately fell in love with the gentle guest, who upon hearing the song when his jukebox was repaired, burst into tears while his wedding song played in the background.

"It's alive, and very beautiful," the widower gushed through his tears.

He went on to thank repair expert Mark who also couldn't stop his tears from flowing as he watched Geoff's heartwarming reaction.

BBC One viewers also found themselves sobbing during the sweet moment.

A number of Repair Shop fans flocked to Twitter to praise BBC star Mark for 'gifting Geoff with the greatest gift ever'.

Mark and his Repair Shop pals worked wonders on the vintage jukebox as the expert told Geoff that 'he wanted to do everything he could' to restore the box as he knew how much it meant to the grieving widower.

"I'm so happy that we could do this for you," Mark gushed.
