Speaking about exactly what they want, Jay Blades explained: "We are looking for items that have a festive feel to them. 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."

Dominic Chinea added: "Viewers may remember that last Christmas we fixed a chopper bike which was a huge treat - I can't wait to see what comes through the door this year."

The work you put into these objects... you get them all sorted out and I just think it's amazing."
