Jay Blades , the beloved host of The Repair Shop , has taken an unusual turn by hosting a low-key, late-night DJ session online. This new venture is a stark contrast to the seven million viewers who typically watch him on the hit BBC show. Presently off our screens due to charges involving controlling and coercive behaviour towards his former partner Lisa Zbozen, 43, Blades seems to find solace in music.
During this intimate midnight gig, the telly favourite could be seen energetically raising his arms and engaging warmly with the few night owls who had tuned in. Sporting a black sweater and his signature glasses, Blades proudly introduced himself as Jay Blades MBE on the live stream. Baffled yet captivated, one viewer remarked: "I couldn't believe it when I saw he was online doing a session it's a website called MixCloud which DJs use.
He seemed like a guy without a care in the world, and looked like he was having a few drinks and he was dancing away on his own maybe that is helping to get him through. At the end he said he'd be back online soon and asked viewers to keep an eye on his channels for updates about it." Adding to the intrigue of the unique broadcast, Blades at one juncture switched to a still from one of his highly popular television specials featuring none other than Dame Judi Dench, reports the Mirror .
The future of Blades' television career remains uncertain after his shows were pulled from broadcasting amid the allegations, and the BBC continues to delibera.
