Fans were overjoyed when a festive episode was confirmed by the official social media accounts for the beloved BBC show.

Posting on Instagram last week, they shared a photo of the team outside the Repair Shop barn which was adorned with beautiful Christmas wreaths and lights. In the photo, favourites including Will Kirk, Jay Blades and Kirsten Ramsay could all be seen sitting around a fire holding a mixture of presents, crackers, and drinks.

What will feature on The Repair Shop at Christmas 2022?

The Repair Shop At Christmas 2022 will be a 59-minute episode featuring all its regular stars and experts. A synopsis reveals what fans can expect: "Adding a touch of pizazz to a 1960s home bar, which once formed the cornerstone of family Christmas parties for a newly arrived Caribbean family, are woodwork wizard Will Kirk and restoration royalty Dominic Chinea.

"Expert duo Steve Fletcher and Kirsten Ramsay face their own festive challenge in the form of a bent and bedraggled Christmas tree that’s been at the heart of family festivities for over 100 years." The episode will also see Mark Stuckey work on an old film projector and Pete Woods will fix an old trombone.
