The Repair Shop favourite Jay Blades MBE is officially a married man after tying the knot with fiancee Lisa Zbozen in Barbados.
In December 2021, the furniture restorer, 51, revealed his happy news, quickly becoming inundated with messages of congratulations.
The couple exchanged their vows in front of 15 guests on the grounds of a romantic beachfront villa in Barbados on Tuesday November 22.
For the afternoon ceremony, Zbozen wore a wedding dress from Romantic Dreams Bridal in Birmingham while Blades wore a black linen suit.
And the BBC presenter hailed the joyous occasion as ‘perfect.’
‘We had our closest family there, the weather held out and everything worked out so well,’ he told Hello! magazine.
Fitness trainer Zbozen 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.’
Blades also shared that he shed a tear as the loved-up couple exchanged their vows and described it as the most ’emotional’ part.
‘It was almost like I had tunnel vision and I could only see Lisa there,’ he added.

‘And honestly, that’s when it really hit me. I was like, “we’re really getting married now!”‘
Blades proposed to Zbozen with a ring made by his coworker and jewellery expert Richard Talman from the hit BBC series.
The first picture he shared on Instagram showed a close-up look of Zbozen’s engagement ring on her finger, with a second photo showing them both on a beach.
‘Good afternoon all. Lunchtime Treat. It gives me great pleasure to announce that I got engaged to @lisamariezbozen,’ he wrote in the caption.
‘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,’ he added, tagging Richard Talman.
Blades’ marriage is his second following his 2015 split from ex-wife Jade, and the former couple share 15-year-old daughter Zola together.
