Former host of The Repair Shop Jay Blades was charged with two counts of rape. West Mercia Police confirmed the star’s allegations and announced a magistrate’s court date of August 13th.
The Repair Shop will still be airing on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Tuesday evening after former host Jay Blades was charged with two counts of rape. West Mercia Police last night confirmed charges against the 55-year-old TV star, who stepped back from presenting The Repair Shop last year, and said that a magistrates’ court date is set for Wednesday 13 August.
“Jason Blades, 55, of Claverley in Shropshire, has been charged with two counts of rape,” a spokesperson for the force told The Mirror this week. “He is due to appear at Telford magistrates’ court on 13 August 2025.”
The Repair Shop will be broadcast on iPlayer and BBC One starting at 8 p.m. tonight. Blades will not appear on the episode since he left last year, though. Dominic Chinea, Suzie Fletcher, Will Kirk, Lucia Scalisi, and Brenton West are tonight’s experts.
A Nottinghamshire woman with a weather-worn concrete portrait of her late father is the first to seek the assistance of an expert. The women who needed Scalisi’s assistance with the restoration of the artwork commissioned it as a gift for her late father.
A rare and priceless silver statuette of a paratrooper is brought in by a father-daughter duo, Ian and Issy. Only 100 copies have been produced, according to the revealing information, and the piece belongs to Ian’s father, a proud member of the parachute regiment. The object was left ruined after surviving a dramatic shipwreck off Tenerife’s coast.
Pari, who brought in a leather baby hammock from her childhood in Iran, and a battered flight case that Trevor Bolder once owned, are other people who may need the assistance of the experts.
Jay Blades, a restaurateur, gained notoriety from his 2017 television program The Repair Shop. He left the program last year.
He also appeared on Comic Relief, Celebrity Masterchef, and Money For Nothing until 2020 on the BBC.
The BBC has reached out for comment, according to The Mirror.
