Jay Blades' wife Lisa shares cryptic message in the wake of couple's split - hours after admitting she 'wanted marriage to work so much'


The fitness instructor, 43, announced the news of the couple's split on Thursday as she said she had left the TV star, 54, who she married in November 2022 after just 18 months of marriage.

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'. Jay was discovered by TV producers after they saw a short film about Out of the Dark, a charity he co-founded that taught young people how to restore and sell old furniture, after previously running community groups for youngsters. Dyslexic and unable to read, it wasn't until the star reached 51 that he began to tackle to the illiteracy problem that had haunted him all of his adult life - after he'd found fame on the show that tapped into the nation's obsession with heritage crafting.
