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.”
