The Repair Shop’s Jay Blades secretly marries girlfriend Lisa in romantic Barbados wedding

THE Repair Shop’s Jay Blades has secretly married his girlfriend Lisa Zbozen in Barbados.

The pair, who got engaged in December last year, tied the knot on November 22 in front of just 15 guests.

Speaking to magazine about their special day, Jay, 52, said: “One word sums up the day: perfect.

“We had our closest family there, the weather held out and everything worked out so well.”

Lisa, 41, added: “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.”

Jay, who is best known for presenting BBC‘s The Repair Shop, was overcome with emotion during the ceremony.

The television presenter confessed: “I think the thing that was most emotional for me was actually saying the vows.

“It was almost like I had tunnel vision and I could only see Lisa there.

“And honestly, that’s when it really hit me. I was like, ‘We’re really getting married now!’. That’s the only time I really got emotional.”

Jay announced that he was engaged to Lisa after popping the question last year, and revealed that the engagement ring was made by his co-star Richard Talman, who works as a goldsmith on the show.

He wrote on social media: “Good afternoon all. Lunchtime Treat.

“It gives me great pleasure to announce that I got engaged to @TheWKOUT.

“We wanted to share this news with you as we are very happy & hope to bring the same happiness your way. Ring designed by me & made by @rtfj_jewellery.”

Jay was previously married to his ex-wife Jade.

The pair, who split up in 2015, share daughter Zola, 15.
