The Repair Shop’s live tour dates cancelled ‘due to sales struggle’ amid Jay Blades charges

According to reports, The Repair Shop’s live performance had to be postponed three times in the coming year.

The alleged cancellations come as an insider claims the show’s brand has been “damaged” by Jay Blades ‘ charges. Recently, the host was accused of having coercive and controlling behavior. Blades entered a not-guilty plea in court.

After seven years of helming the program, the BBC removed Blades from the lineup due to the allegations. He was also removed from the live performance. However, they are said to have had low ticket sales despite distancing themselves from Blades, which allegedly caused the apparent cancellation of three tour dates.

To date, the shows in Newcastle, Glasgow and Edinburgh have been axed. According to the Sun, a show spokesman said there had been “unforeseen scheduling issues” meaning the show’s needed cancelling. They asserted that they were “looking forward to visiting those areas later in 2025.” However, a source told the publication that tickets “haven’t exactly been selling out”.

And on Newcastle’s O2 City Hall website, where the event was initially scheduled to take place, there’s a message now in its place that reads: “The Repair Shop Live: Secrets From The Barn. Sorry, this show has been cancelled and there aren’t any plans to reschedule”. The note further advises those purchasing tickets to contact their original retailer for a full refund and additional details.

In October, Blades was accused of coercing and controlling his estranged wife, Lisa Zbozen, in court. Prior to his court appearance in September, Blades requested bail. After the couple exchanged their vows at a lavish beachfront villa in Barbados in November 2022, Lisa announced the couple’s breakup in May of this year.

She claimed that their 18-month marriage “just got worse and worse” when she left Jay. She wrote, “I have been quiet so far, but the papers seem to be picking up this story, but some parts have definitely been missed, so it’s forced my hand… this was the entire post on a private forum: I don’t know how to say this because it’s still really raw.

“I probably should be really upset, but I’m just feeling incredibly depressed right now.” I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much. I hoped my husband would love me and protect me, and I would do the same for him, but things only got worse until I grabbed a bag full of things and left. Anyway, That’s why there’s been no new workouts. “
