Jay’s Home Fix dumped ‘to make space for new shows’

DIY show Jay Blades’ Home Fix has been axed.

In a shock move, BBC bosses pulled the plug after just two series.

Host Jay told the Daily Star Sunday: “We aren’t doing any more of it.”

The decision is a blow for Jay and his co-host Dom Chinea.

Beeb chiefs last night said they wanted to make way for new shows.

A spokesman said: “We loved working with Jay and Dom on Home Fix, and after two brilliant series we’re making space in the schedule for new commission­s.”

The daytime show involved the pair sharing handy home tips with viewers.

It has been axed despite being a big hit with its audience.

One fan said: “There are lots of programmes

I won’t watch because they are like a modern-day version of the stocks.

“Luckily Jay

Blades’ Home Fix is the perfect antidote – 30 minutes of positive, inspiring, cringe-free viewing.”

Another wrote: “Started to look at bits and pieces in my house in a whole new way – so many ideas!” Jay and Dom are now working together on a new show.

They have become two of the BBC’s biggest stars in recent years thanks to the success of their show The Repair Shop.

Jay said: “There is more stuff coming; watch this space. We are working on a different show. It will be positive.”

The BBC spokesman last night confirmed the plans and said: “We’re continuing to work with Jay and Dom on projects we’re sure viewers will enjoy.”

The duo will also continue starring on The Repair Shop for years to come.

Jay added: “We were commission­ed for The Repair Shop for three more years and if people keep watching us, we’ll be on for another three years after that.”
