Furniture restorer Blades, who was made an MBE for services to craft in 2022, found fame on The Repair Shop, the restoration programme he has presented since 2017. It sees members of the public take worn-out family heirlooms to be restored by a team of experts.
A spin-off of the show appeared to have been pulled from the air on Friday evening.
A repeat of David & Jay’s Touring Toolshed, in which Blades appears alongside actor David Jason touring the UK to meet “crafters and hobbyists” was scheduled for 8pm on BBC One.
According to MailOnline, the slot had been filled with an episode of Garden Rescue.
On Friday his wife Lisa shared a news article revealing Blades had been charged with controlling and coercive behaviour.
The charge emerged a day after a live tour version was announced via social media.
A post from the official Repair Shop account read: “The repair shop is stepping out of the barn and onto the stage from an exciting new tour.”
Last May, he won a daytime Bafta TV award along with other members of The Repair Shop for a special featuring the King. In it, Blades and the restorers visited Charles at Dumfries House in Scotland for The Repair Shop: A Royal Visit.
The programme also won the daytime prize at the National Television Awards.
