Will Kirk has teased an exciting new project away from his role on the BBC One heirloom-fixing show, The Repair Shop

The woodwork expert shared a video to Instagram hinting at a collaboration with the furniture company, West Elm. 

The brief clip showed glimpses of a beautifully decorated bedroom, kitted out with various oak furniture pieces, including a cabinet and side table, which featured a snap of Will and his wife Polly on their wedding day.

Will has kept details of the new project well underwraps, so fans will have to wait for the star to release more information in the coming weeks.

Will Kirk and Steve Fletcher impressed viewers with their amazing clock restoration

The beloved item, which is made almost entirely from matchsticks, was brought in by Charlotte Fischer, who explained that the clock belonged to her great grandfather, artist Edwin Aldous, who built it in 1953 to commemorate the late Queen Elizabeth's coronation. 

Fans were blown away by the experts' work and took to Twitter to praise the transformation. One person wrote: "Kudos for knowing how the clock bits go back together Steve," while another added: "Think every viewer must've said 'wow' when that clock was unveiled, brilliant yet again from the team."
