JAY Blades and the experts from BBC One’s The Repair Shop are returning to film a new series of the much-loved programme - and are on the lookout for special items to restore to their former glory.

Since launching on screens in 2017, the experts have saved more than a thousand precious items and historical artefacts.

The team is now searching for more treasures hidden across the country to be brought back to life. 

The Repair Shop team is reaching out to a wide range of communities for series 10.

You should email applications@ricochet.co.uk or log on to bbc.co.uk/takepart for more information.

Blades, who presents the show, said: “It's incredible to think about how many fixes we’ve completed and we want your help to really uncover some items that will make a difference to someone’s family history.”

Ceramics expert Kirsten Ramsay, added: “We’ve fixed so many different items, including very niche objects.

"If you have something that is really special to you with a fascinating back story, and is in need of some TLC, we want to hear from you.”

Executive producer Glenn Swift said: “As well as the fixes themselves, we love hearing the very special stories that make those items quite so precious."
