Jay Blades was the star of The Repair Shop and being watched by seven million viewers... now he's DJing from his bedroom with a coercive control case hanging over his head
Blades, 54, is offering fans the chance to 'experience the ultimate weekend vibes' playing live DJ sets from his spare bedroom, MailOnline can reveal.
Earlier this month the usually dapper six-foot three star wore a puffer jacket, hoodie and joggers as he left Kidderminster magistrates' court after appearing in the dock charged with controlling and coercive behaviour against Lisa. Blades was brought up in Hackney, east London and has described how he used to live among rats in his poverty-stricken childhood home after he and his mother Barbara were abandoned by his Jamaican father Trevor when he was just a baby. Blades lived on hand outs from friends but he has told how around the same time, television producers saw a short film about the charity and believed he would be the perfect fit for a new upcoming BBC programme - The Repair Shop.
