The Repair Shop star Steve Fletcher has treated fans to a glimpse inside his back garden at his home in Witney, Oxfordshire.
In a series of videos shared on Instagram, the horologist revealed that a pair of robins had nested in one of his tree ferns and had laid six eggs. He documented the nesting cycle, showing the eggs before and after they hatched, as well as an amazing video of him holding one of the birds.
In the first clip, which showcased Steve's incredibly green garden which is filled with shrubbery, he spoke to the camera. "One of the great things about having lots of plants in your garden is that you get lots of birds nesting," he began. "My pair of robins have made another nest just underneath one of my tree ferns and it's just flown off now so I can just show you its nest with all the eggs in," he said, panning the camera inside the nest to show six eggs.
"We've got six eggs there so hopefully soon they will hatch and fledge soon we'll have little robins hopping around," he added.

Steve is thought to reside in Witney, Oxfordshire, which is close to where his clock and watch repair business, The Clock Workshop, is located.
The clock expert lives at his Oxfordshire home with his partner Mel, who has previously been credited for his TV career.

While Steve tends to keep his home life out of the spotlight, we do know that he has five children: four daughters and a son.
