THE Repair Shop host Jay Blades has revealed the fate of the much-loved BBC show after the spin-off was axed.
The TV presenter took to The One Show to reveal that filming WAS still happening following on from the tenth series.
The tear-jerking fan favourite had viewers worried that it wasn’t going to make a return after the spin-off show was axed.
Jay confirmed the tenth series is set to air next month after Jay, 52, and his co-stars Will Kirk and Suzie Fletcher were reunited.
He headed to The One Show on Wednesday night to discuss his new documentary Jay Blades: No Place Like Home on Channel 5.
However, when the fan questions started rolling in, it was clear they were keen to find out what was going on with the BBC show instead.

“Will there be more Repair Shop?” one had penned, to which BBC host Jermaine Jenas posed to Jay as they chatted.
“More Repair Shops? Definitely,” Jay confirmed, updating fans with the extra details: “We’re filming the new series now.”
“It comes out, I believe, on May 11 – I don’t know the actual date but it is coming out,” he later added. “We’ve filmed loads.”
It comes after Jay revealed that his spin-off show Home Fix had been axed – after it was launched back in 2020.
After two successful series and rave reviews from viewers, BBC bosses have decided to pull the plug on the show.
The furniture restorer and presenter has confirmed that there will be no more episodes, saying they weren’t “doing any more of it”.
The decision was made to free up space for upcoming new shows.
“We loved working with Jay and Dom on Home Fix, and after two brilliant series we’re making space in the schedule for new commissions,” a spokesperson said.
Although fans will be gutted that the show won’t be returning, they can still catch Jay on The Repair Shop.
Jay said: “There is more stuff coming. Watch this space. We are working on a different show. It will be positive.

“We were commissioned for The Repair Shop for three more years and if people keep watching us, we’ll be on for another three years after that.”
The BBC said that they will “continue” to work with Jay and co-host Dom Chinea on future projects.
