It comes asJayhas reportedly had some good career news following the breakdown of his marriage to his estranged wifeLisa after 18 months.

The presenter is said to be involved in a Repair Shop spin-off, which will apparently see the show hit the road to revive people's sentimental treasures.

According to The Sun, there will be less focus on Jay, and more on his team of restorers who work tirelessly to restore items for their clients.

The publication has reported that filming will take place later this year after the original version of the programme proved a huge success with viewers.

A TV insider said: 'This is a great vote of confidence in The Repair Shop's presenter, even if it does see the limelight shift from him somewhat in this spin-off.

'It's also another sign of just how successful the show has become in the seven years it's been on our screens.'

The reports came as Jaywas seen back on the set of The Repair Shop for the first time since his shock marriage split last week.

He completed the look withsome fur-lined brown boots, while his fourth finger on his left hand was left bare.

She said: 'I have been quiet until now, but the papers seem to be picking up this story, but some parts have been definitely missed, so it's forced my hand...

'This was the whole post on a private forum: I don't know how to say this because it's still really raw.

'I probably should be really angry but I'm just incredibly sad about the whole thing right now. I don't think I've ever cried so much.

'I wanted my husband to love me & keep me safe, and I would love him right back,but it just got worse and worse, until I grabbed a bag of a few thing's & I just left. Anyway, That's why there's been no new wkouts [workouts].'

In another post, she said: 'I will admit I'm crying as I type this as I can't believe this is even real. I hope you don't mind if I just have a few days trying to figure out my life as I'm currently in a spare room with a few essentials.

'I don't know what else to say. All my love, A very broken Lisa-Marie x.'

It all came as Jay was expected to be back filming the hugely-popular BBC show The Repair Shop but had reportedly been absent on set.

MailOnline revealed that Jay would be 'given the time' he needed to deal with personal issues impacting his life.

Amid reports that Jay had thrownBBC's The Repair Shop filming into chaos, a source has confirmed to MailOnline that the presenter is being 'given the space' he needs to get 'his head straight'.

The insider said: 'Jay is a much-loved member of the team on The Repair Shop. It is a really close-knit group, who are like a family.

'Jay will be given the time he needs todeal with things and sort out what he needs to get sorted.

Lisa announced that she had ended her marriage with Blades with a surprise post on social media (seen on wedding day)

'He's been through a really difficult time with his uncle and now he is having to deal with the breakdown of his marriage.

'The BBCfully expect Jay to return but they won't be rushing or pushing him to come back before he is ready and he'll be given the space to sort things out and get his head straight.'

Reports recently suggested that the Christmas special of the Repair Shop was in jeopardy due to Jay's absence.

But MailOnline later understood that this was not the case and with Jay back filming it seems the show's filming schedule has resumed.
