The Repair Shop star Dominic Chinea has shared an exciting update on the latest season of the popular BBC show.
Taking to his Instagram Stories, the metalwork expert posted two behind-the-scenes snaps from the barn, revealing that filming for season 12 has continued.
The first photo, which was taken from Dom's worktop in the barn, shows several cameras pointing at the star, who was behind the lens. Tagging the show's Instagram account, he wrote in the caption: "@TheRepairShopTV team making sure they capture every angle."
The second snap showed Dom sitting down behind his work desk while looking towards the cameras.

While we don't know exactly when unseen episodes will arrive on our screens, we do know that there are six episodes remaining of the current series, according to the BBC website.
Woodwork expert Will Kirk recently announced that the show is gearing up to film this year's Christmas special, which will air in December.

"We are casting for Christmassy items at The Repair Shop. So if you have anything Christmassy at home that needs fixing, please get in touch."

Host Jay Blades made the announcement at the TV BAFTAs in May after the programme picked up a gong in the Daytime category. "I think we've been commissioned for another two years if I'm not mistaken," he said in the winners' room. "We are going to do more. We've just won a BAFTA so I think they're going to want us to stay on air."

The Repair Shop is filmed at the Weald and Downland Living Museum in Singleton, which is a charming village in the Lavant Valley in Chichester, West Sussex.
The famous barn is actually a building called the Court Barn, which dates from the late 17th or early 18th century and was originally built in Lee-on-the-Solent, Hampshire. In 1977, the barn was dismantled and transported to Singleton, where it was reconstructed in 1979.
