They’re known for their calm, kind-hearted presence on The Repair Shop, but behind the scenes, siblings Suzie and Steve Fletcher have opened up about a much more difficult family reality. While the pair have spoken fondly about growing up in a “tight family” in their charming but “ramshackle old house” in Oxfordshire, life wasn’t always as idyllic as it looked on the surface.
In a recent podcast with Catherine Carr, Steve was asked whether their upbringing had been “overwhelmingly happy.” His honest answer revealed the reality many families quietly endure. “We did have our problems, like most families do. But we got through them and it didn’t really have a huge impact on us,” he said, reported Hello! Magazine.
