Repair Shop presenter Jay Blades is a shining example that anything is possible just six years after all but giving up on life with plans to end it all.
Now the restoration expert is a constant on the small screen, has found time to publish his own inspirational memoir and received an MBE for his services to craft.
He’s also got engaged to his long-term partner Lisa, and last, but not least, has learnt to read, aged 51.
