This is disappointing as i always liked the fella:
Jay Blades, host of BBC series The Repair Shop, has been charged with engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour.
The presenter faces one charge and appeared at Kidderminster Magistrates' Court on Friday.
Following the news, the BBC has dropped a repeat of an epsiode of David & Jay’s Touring Toolshed, in which Mr Blades appears with actor David Jason, from Friday's BBC One schedule.
A BBC spokesperson said: "It would not be appropriate to comment on ongoing legal proceedings."
West Mercia Police said it launched an investigation after being called on 3 May.
In a statement, the force said: "Fifty-four year-old Jason Blades of Claverley in Wolverhampton has been charged with controlling and coercive behaviour.
"He appeared at Kidderminster Magistrates Court this morning (Friday 13th September) and has been bailed to appear at Worcester Crown Court on Friday 11th October."
