The well-known television presenter, Jay Blades, has recently been spotted arriving at court. He has been accused of engaging in controlling and coercive behavior towards his wife, Lisa-Marie Zbozen, and has pleaded not guilty to these charges.
As he made his way to Worcester Crown Court on Friday afternoon, the 54-year-old looked serious and composed in a dark suit and tie. He appeared before Judge James Burbidge KC and confirmed his identity to the court clerk before entering his plea.
According to court documents, the allegations against Blades include both physical and emotional abuse. The investigation by West Mercia Police began earlier this year after a call was made to the department on May 3rd.
This is not the first time that Blades has appeared in court regarding these charges. He previously appeared at Kidderminster Magistrates' Court on September 13th and was bailed until his next court appearance.
Aside from his legal issues, many have been wondering about the future of Blades' popular BBC show, The Repair Shop, which he has been a part of since 2017. Last month, he also had a separate charge of using his mobile phone while driving dismissed at Walsall Magistrates' Court.
The BBC has recently revealed that they will not be featuring any new shows with Blades until the outcome of his legal proceedings is clear. This has led to speculation about whether or not he will continue to be a part of The Repair Shop. However, a BBC spokesperson has stated that while he is not currently filming, any content that already features Blades will remain on BBC iPlayer.
When the news of Blades' charges first broke, the BBC released a statement saying that it would not be appropriate to comment on ongoing legal proceedings.
