They added: ‘A very warm welcome back #therepairshop. Story behind those sweet little cowboy boots is beautiful. I didn’t get a lump in my throat when we heard Elton John had paid tribute to his dear musician friend by singing ‘Don’t let the Sun go Down on Me.’ Who am I kidding? Lovely.
‘#TheRepairShop needs to be put on repeat prescription for the entire nation. A hit of positive human warmth, intriguing objects and amazing stories and beautiful, dedicated craftspeople. Healing stuff. We needed this show more than we realised.
‘The weekly weep is back with a bang! Love #TheRepairShop. Each and every one of the gang are brilliant, but, yet again, Kirsten just blows me away working on such ‘impossible’ pieces’: ‘No I’m not crying over a b***** lamp, I have something in my eye.’

He added: ‘The show goes from strength to strength, and I think that is simply because we’re talking about community, it’s all about working together as a team and achieving a common goal for someone.’
Jay, 54, and the experts from the BBC One programme have saved more than a thousand precious items and historical artefacts since launching in 2017.
Some of the most memorable fixes over the years have included the rocking horse, a Jewish Prayer Book that survived Theresienstadt concentration camp, a grip that was used to travel over on the Windrush ships, and a 2,000-year-old Chinese statue.
