You might have spotted him popping up on The Repair Shop again. But it’s not the same old Jay. He has a new energy. The man is practically glowing. He’s also been filming Jay Blades: The Repair Shop spin-offs where he goes on location to find broken bits of history.
Rumor has it—and I’m not confirming this, just repeating what I heard from a “very reliable source” (my mum)—he’s working on a secret documentary about Black British history and craftsmanship. He’s obsessed with genealogy now. He even traced his own family tree back to Jamaica, which nearly broke him, by the way. You should have seen the tears on that episode.
What About the Personal Life? (Inquiring Minds, etc.)
Let’s talk about the other big thing. The wife, Lisa Marie Zbozen. Yes, they’re still together. And no, they haven’t had a TV renovation show forced on them. Thank goodness. They’re just… living. She’s a choreographer, he’s a furniture whisperer.
They bought a new house, and Jay is methodically restoring it. He’s doing all the work himself—no TV crew, no stylist. Just him, a power sander, and a lot of swearing. Honestly, that’s more relatable than any show he’s ever made.
