When asked how life as a dad has been treating him, Will, who was in the middle of filming for the series, said: "Absolutely amazing. I love her so much. It was quite tricky to leave home this morning to come down to The Repair Shop because she's so sweet in the mornings and she just looks up at you and she'd just woken up.
"I'm absolutely in love. It's the best thing I've ever done I think, having a child," he added.
Chatting about whether his daughter would be paying a visit to barn or taking a spin in The Travelling Auctioneers van anytime soon, he said: "I don't know if there's any space for a baby seat in the Travelling Auctioneer van but maybe [she'll] pop down to the barn soon to look at where I do all my work. They're all itching to see her down here so when I can get her down, definitely.

"There will definitely be so many top tips going through this series, which you don't always get with The Repair Shop," he explained. "Most of the items I do fix on Travelling Auctioneer, there's a lot of take home that you can do yourself.
