Jay isn't the only one to pay tribute to the cast as saddle maker Suzie Fletcher has previously opened up about the show being like a family.
"The Repair Shop is a family, a lot of life happens in the background between all of us and we all share and support each other," she said on the Relatively podcast earlier this year. "I have been told by many people that the warmth and closeness comes across on the programme, which, I love hearing."
