‘Where is he?! demand panicked The Repair Shop fans as beloved star ‘goes missing’ from BBC barn
THE Repair Shop fans were left utterly panicked as one of the beloved stars ‘goes missing’ from the BBC barn.
Viewers were left perplexed after the current lineup of BBC experts alongside the likes of Jay Blades was revealed online.
The official social media account of The Repair Shop posted a new promotional image of the experts.
They all beamed as they posed within the workshop ahead of the new series.
It was confirmed exactly when the National Television Award-winning show would be returning to TV screens.
On both X and Instagram, the post read: “#TheRepairShop returns to BBC One and @BBCiPlayer from Wednesday 10 April at 8pm with a series of six brand new episodes.”
However, fans of the hit BBC One show couldn’t help but notice that one of their favourite faces was missing from the presented line-up.
One fan asked: “Where’s Steve?! .”
A second fumed: “What…No Steve?? .”
“Yes, Steve?”, added a third user.
But it seems there are changes to the on-screen faces as there is a new expert in the mix.
Rebecca Bissonnet will join Jay Blades and the rest of the team in the barn as the new resident textiles expert.
She will attempt to repair and restore clothing items on the hit BBC One show.
But it turns out, Rebecca could have been omitted from the show as she nearly missed out from the call with bosses.
Rebecca explained: “The Repair Shop rang me as they were looking for a textiles expert.
“They had found my details through my website and I actually missed the call because I had just popped next door to the village shop to buy a cherry cake.
“Some of the stuff brought in would be so expensive to fix, as it’s so time-heavy.
“So we’re helping restore, repair and conserve items, giving conservation to people that may not necessarily have the resources to have them restored themselves and it means they’ll now be future-proofed and be around for years to come.”
