Northern Irish people wanted to feature on new series of BBC's The Repair Shop

TV's "loveliest show" is back for a new series and is on the hunt for people from Northern Ireland with a story to tell and a beloved item to bring back to life.

Jay Blades and the team of experts are back in BBC One’s The Repair Shop barn, busy rescuing and restoring items their owners thought were beyond saving, transforming priceless pieces of family history and bringing loved, but broken treasures back to their former glory.

The casting team are currently on the lookout for local people who have treasured items that need a little bit of TLC and would love to chat on the show about their work in the barn, restoring items - big or small - to their former glory.

The Repair Shop's presenter, Jay Blades, said: "We are looking for unique items for our new series.

"They don't have to be antique, it can be absolutely anything, but it must have that sentimental value and it must mean something to you and it needs repairing.

"We want you to get in contact because we want to get these things fixed for you."

Ceramics expert, Kirsten Ramsay added: "In previous series we've fixed a whole host of items, traditional instruments, garments, books, crockery and more. So, please get in touch about your amazing items in need of some love!"

Executive Producer, Glenn Swift said: "If you’ve got anything that needs restoring, evokes wonderful memories or is a treasured family possession then get in touch – all you need to do is fill in the form on the BBC website or email us the details and we’ll do the rest.”

The Repair Shop team is reaching out to a wide range of communities for the future series - email therepairshop@ricochet.co.uk or log on to www.bbc.co.uk/takepart
