The Repair Shop star Jay Blades has had a week from hell after revealing the tragic death of his uncle just days before his wife Lisa Zbozen announced she had left him.

It comes after Jay's beloved uncle was allegedly stabbed to death by a neighbour on a quiet residential street following a long-running dispute over a shared alleyway, MailOnline revealed this week. The Repair Shop star announced on Monday that he would be taking time away from social media to process his grief following the death of his uncle, telling his fans the shocking bereavement had left him feeling 'messed up'. The funeral for Mr Brathwaite is thought to have been held on Monday, with the BBC presenter paying tribute to his uncle, who he called a 'really, super nice guy' adding that the alleged killing 'should never have happened to him'.
