A man's childhood toy monkey has been restored by experts on The Repair Shop. Keith Jones from Cheshire brought in the well-loved stuffed animal, which belonged to his partner Peter but had seemingly been lost for years.
Speaking to soft toy specialists Julie and Amanda on the BBC restoration programme, Keith explained how Peter had died last year after the couple both contracted coronavirus. Three weeks after he passed away, Keith found Monkey in a small box among his possessions and has sought comfort in his company ever since.
He said: "It was a big relief that I found him but also sad that Peter never found him again[...] I talk to him every night – it may seem a bit daft but it's still a link to being with Peter.
