Robert Bent’s life and career

For as long as he can remember, Robert has loved being hands-on.

He’s previously said that he enjoyed building Lego as a toddler, and actually liked putting together IKEA flat packs. Seriously, how?!

After helping pals on carpentry and flooring jobs, he decided to enroll in a carpentry and joinery course at the College of NW London.

He was there for two years, before leaving with a distinction in 2004.

This then led to him landing an apprenticeship.

However, after years of working for other people, Robert eventually took the leap and set up his own company, REBB Carpentry.

They went on to say that his “professionalism and perfectionism” has seen him seen him earn a “glowing” reputation, as well as an increasing list of clients!

Away from Sort Your Life Out, Robert has also worked on Tetley Tea’s, ‘That’s Better, That’s Tetley’ campaign.

He also shared a sweet picture of the crew alongside a grinning Stacey Solomon.

“A BAFTA NIGHT TO REMEMBER. What a night we had!” he captioned the posts. “To believe we were nominated for a BAFTA. The new show on the block. To be a part of this show with a group of amazing people is more than I could ever have wished for,” he then continued.

“I am passionate about what I do. To now do it on TV for the UK to see and for such deserving families is a blessing We may not have won on the night… but I can now say I am part of a Bafta-nominated TV show,” he then added.

Meanwhile last year, he admitted having “tears of joy” over filming on Sort Your Life Out. He said on Instagram: “WE DID IT! It’s a wrap and what a reaction.

“We had tears of joy and smiles all round.”

He added: “We had our work seriously cut out for us on this one. Lots to declutter and organise. The family did such a great job at the warehouse. Actually very proud of how well they did. Now its the countdown to help another family in need of our help.”
