BBC Repair Shop host Jay Blades has had a charge of using his mobile phone while driving dismissed after the Crown Prosecution Service offered no evidence. Blades, however, faces a more serious charge of controlling and coercive behavior against his estranged wife, Lisa Zbozen, with a court appearance scheduled for October 11. Following these legal issues, Blades has deleted his social media accounts and resigned from his ambassador role in the King’s Foundation. The BBC has also paused broadcasting any new shows featuring Blades pending the outcome of his legal proceedings. He was previously made an MBE and has won a BAFTA TV award for his work on The Repair Shop.
