Will shared a number of festive snaps from The Repair Shop Christmas party

No doubt deserving of a Christmas party, the cast and crew have had a busy few weeks as they film for the BBC show at the Weald and Downland Living Museum in West Sussex. 

Just last week, Kirsten Ramsay shared a photo of herself and co-stars Lucia Scalisi and Steve Fletcher as they took a quick break from set.

The caption read: "Enjoying the winter sunshine on our lunchtime walk. Just one more week of filming in 2022 before we break for Christmas and the new year. Have a great weekend, keep cosy."

Fan favourite Jay Blades has also been sharing snippets from his time in West Sussex after he penned a lovely post to his new wife, Lisa, who he is clearly missing while away from home. 

The Repair Shop team have always shared a close bond

Taking to Instagram, the 52-year-old shared a stunning photo of his new bride alongside the caption: "Good morning all. Miss you Tiny Blades Aka @thewkoutofficial. I'm always gonna say how I feel, I'm away filming and I just had a big missing feeling, don't worry I've told Mrs Blades. #sayhowyoufeel." 

Jay's wife was quick to comment on the romantic post, writing: "I love you," alongside a red heart emoji.
