Repair Shop's Suzie Fletcher admits 'we've had to stop filming' due to emotional cast

The Repair Shop's Suzie Fletcher has shared how filming sometimes has to come to a stop as cast members become emotional. As crew are tasked with bringing people's most prized possesions back to life, Suzie shared how it can become a little too much for some members of the team while filming the beloved show.

She revealed that on some occasions the team have to temporarily suspend filming. She explained how The Repair Shop's team sometimes struggle to keep their emotions under wraps.

Speaking to the Feels Like Healing podcast, Suzie said: "There have been moments were we have actually had to stop filming, because all of us were so affected by the sharing and people's upfrontness and willingness to share. It's lovely to hear somebody's story, because we all have a story in us and it's done with no judgement and it's actually what they (guests) probably need and they feel better."

It is not just members of the repair team who have found some aspects of the show emotionally overwhelming, sharing how walking through the big barn doors can have an impact on guests: "We have so many people come in and say 'I wasn't going to cry' but as soon as you walk through those big doors there is a vibe change in the barn, it's safe and it's caring and it's genuine and it's why it has been so successful."

It comes after before he died from cancer. Jamie, also known as Rob, before he passed away from pancreatic at 52 in her 2013.

In the memoir, she wrote that Rob became lucid and spoke his last words while mimicking steering wheel movements with his arms.

She wrote: "On Monday morning, Rob became quite lucid and started talking. 'Baby blue,' he repeated a few times, 'Brum, brum, brum, drive.' The words were clear, but the meaning was not. And while he was speaking, his arms were going up and then down."

Now in its 14th series, The Repair Shop sees a crew of some of the nation's most gifted craftspeople combine their skill's in a bid to restore treasured family heirlooms.

As the show returns tonight, we will see Suzie try and use her expertise to bring a 1970s stuffed leather toy kangaroo back to it's former glory. And, despite having what looks like a mammoth task ahead of her, Suzie manages to restore the beloved toy and sends guest, Matthew home with a smile on his face.

Suzie and the rest of the Repair Shop crew will return to our screen's this evening (Wednesday, April 2) at 8pm on BBC One for the latest episode of the series.
