The Repair Shop viewers were left reaching for the tissues once again thanks to the latest episode of the heartwarming BBC reality programme.
Host Jay Blades and teddy bear experts Amanda Middleditch and Julie Tatchell welcomed 36-year-old Jess Hiles and her mum Joan into the barn, who brought with them two treasured baby dolls that have been "part of the family" for over 30 years.
Jess was first given the dolls when she was five years old and they have been her constant companions through the years. They also serve as a reminder of her beloved late grandmother, whom she spent a lot of time with as a youngster.

The 36-year-old requested that the experts replace the missing leg with a carbon fibre running blade and provide new outfits inspired by the Special Olympics.
Amanda and Julie soon got to work on the dolls and recruited the help of metalwork expert Dom Chinea, who created the carbon fibre leg.
