"In 2016 I received an email from a company that I hadn't heard of asking if I would be interested in taking part in a brand new show." He added: "Not trusting anything that is on the internet, I nearly deleted it and would have done if my partner, Mel, hadn't stopped me saying that it all looks ok."

Does Steve Fletcher have children?
Steve is both a dad and a grandad! He has five children: four daughters and a son, several of whom have gone on to have kids of their own.
Steve's son Fred has followed in his father's footsteps, working as a junior clockmaker and Steve's apprentice, while his daughter Milly runs the workshop and "keeps the business going". Fred made his debut on The Repair Shop last year and assisted his dad on the repair of the largest time-piece ever attempted on the programme. Watch a clip from the episode below.
One of his daughters, Amelia, tied the knot to her husband Al last May. Steve shared a sweet tribute to his family to mark the special day. Posting a photo of his five children from the wedding, he penned in the caption: "The fourth generation! This recent photo of my five children was taken on the wedding day of my eldest daughter, Amelia and my now son-in-law, Al.
"I've been very lucky to have always worked with family nearby. My great grandfather Fred first inspired me with his horological excellence, and my Dad, John, took the baton on from him, before I became a clockmaker myself."
