The One Show and The Repair Shop team up
A guest on The Repair Shop got overwhelmed with emotion when she was given a big surprise from show host Jay Blades.
Kyley Dickinson created ‘J-Fest’, an accessible festive, in honour of her sister Jody, who sadly passed away in 2021.
Jody was born with multiple disabilities but her love of music meant the family would often travel to festivals together.
To say thank you to Kyley for creating something amazing in her sister’s honour, Jay, 53, had a surprise in store for her.
Jay revealed the team had been working on a treasured family photo for Kyley.

Jay expressed: “We need more people like you, your sister would be proud, I know she is.”
It was then that the guest became overcome with emotion as she said: “Oh, now you’ve got me!”
