Jay Blades’ life
It’s been a jam-packed past 12 months for Jay. Not only did The Repair Shop bag a NTA award, beating out ITV’s This Morning, he also tied the knot last November. Jay married fiancée Lisa in a stunning wedding that took place in Barbados. Only 15 guests were invited to Jay and Lisa’s romantic ceremony at a beachfront villa.
The couple exchanged rings designed by The Repair Shop’s Richard Talman. Based on the Egyptian style of an imperfect circle, they contained the couple’s birthstones.
“One word sums up the day: perfect. We had our closest family there, the weather held out and everything worked out so well,” Jay told Hello!. Lisa said: “Once you get to a certain age, you realise what’s actually important on the day, and that is having the people around you that love you for who you are. So we made the day our day.”
