If true, that's really depressing. He comes across as so nice on the TV and his story (beating illiteracy etc.) was genuinely inspiring.
The fact that he's been charged suggests there's fairly compelling evidence though, I can't imagine it's an easy crime to prosecute.
He isn’t guilty yet, of course. But it’ll be another headache for the BBC, especially if they’ve got unscreened episodes still to go out - presumably he’ll be ‘cancelled’ with immediate effect. Given the personal connections with the items that people bring onto the show, it’ll be pretty upsetting for any participants who end up having their episodes binned or having to come back to film bits of it again etc.The fact that he's been charged suggests there's fairly compelling evidence though, I can't imagine it's an easy crime to prosecute.
Never taken to him at all… maybe it’s his insistence on wearing a hat all the time, whatever the occasion. And his double act with David Jason is toe curlingly bad…
Never particularly enjoyed the Repair Shop either - I enjoy seeing the work of the very talented crafts people, but the something odd about the ‘prized family heirlooms’ that have in many cases been left rotting in the shed for the last 30 years.

He hasn’t even had a trial yet and unless there is some third party evidence I presume it will be one persons word against another.
It appears to be in the context of a very brief marriage, which ended is Blades’ wife leaving after describing the situation in a pretty negative way on social media.
He’s reported to have been unsurprisingly absent from the set of new series of Repair Shop currently being filmed. The bearded fellow who does the metalwork, and the youngster who does woodwork seem to be occasional stand-ins in previous series, so I’d expect one or both of them to be taking over as likely options.
