The Repair Shop star Jay Blades has shared an update on upcoming episodes of the BBC reality show, which hasn't released a new episode since early July.
Taking to Instagram following Wednesday night's programme, which was a repeat of a previous instalment, Jay reassured viewers that more episodes are on their way.
"Good morning all. Did you see @therepairshoptv last night and what did you think?" asked the presenter.
"I know it was a repeat but we are filming some Brand New ones for you right now. Hold tight."
Reacting to the update, fans shared their delight in the comments section. One person wrote: "Good to hear new episodes are on the horizon! It was another good show last night… you have such a talented team! Sooooooo pleased it's back to an hour show too!" while another added: "Can't wait."
Other fans assured Jay that they enjoy watching the repeats, with one person penning: "Never get bored of The Repair Shop even when watching repeat," while another commented: "The repeats are still worth watching. Dom's project was fabulous, the reaction from the girls was fabulous."
The BBC hasn't aired a new episode of the heirloom-fixing programme since 5 July. According to the BBC website, there are six episodes remaining of the latest season, and while we don't know when exactly they will be broadcast, we do know that the experts are hard at work in the barn.
Dom Chinea, the show's resident metal expert, shared a behind-the-scenes snap back in July. Posting photos from inside the barn which showed several cameras pointing at Dom, who was sitting behind his work desk, he wrote in the caption: "@TheRepairShopTV team making sure they capture every angle."

Addressing fans in a video shared to the show's official Instagram account, woodwork expert Will Kirk said: "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."
