Suzie Fletcher was introduced to The Repair Shop by her brother Steve after her husband passed away. The Repair Shop, a popular show on BBC One, features skilled artisans restoring cherished family heirlooms, ranging from toys and clocks to furniture and jewelry. Each item holds a unique history that resonates with the audience.
Specializing in leatherwork and saddlery, Suzie joined The Repair Shop during its second series and has remained a vital part of the team despite facing personal hardships. She opened up about her late husband’s battle with pancreatic cancer and her journey from working in America to returning to the UK.
After her husband’s passing, Suzie found comfort and purpose in The Repair Shop, which became a source of light during her darkest days. Encouraged by her brother Steve, who is also part of the show, Suzie joined the team and expressed gratitude for the joy and support it has brought her.
In an emotional moment on the show, Suzie was moved to tears while working on a rocking horse that reminded her of her husband. She shared her own experience of loss and the significance of holding onto memories. The Repair Shop airs on BBC One and iPlayer on Thursdays at 8 pm.
