The Repair Shop’s Brenton West emotional as guest breaks down over late dad’s bee smoker

In one of the latest episodes of BBC’s The Repair Shop, viewers saw metals expert Brenton West get emotional with one guest. After he revealed to her the beekeeping equipment which once belonged to her late, she quickly broke down. 

The Repair Shop’s Brenton struggled to hide his emotions when revealing one item in particular to their guest.

Vanessa brought in some beekeeping equipment that used to belong to her late father in the hopes it could be restored to how it once was.

Bringing it into the shop, she told Brenton: “It belonged to my dad, I remember him using it in the kitchen and now I’m a beekeeper I want to use it.”

She told Brenton beekeeping was his life but sadly he had to give it up when he became ill.

Later on in the episode, fans got to see the moment Vanessa saw the restored equipment.

Once Brenton revealed it, she was overcome with emotion as she immediately put her hands over her mouth.

She said: “Oh my goodness, it’s beautiful. It’s absolutely beautiful.”

She then walked up to the smoker and admired the work The Repair Shop expert had done on her late dad’s smoker.

Vanessa said: “Thank you so much. It’s so lovely to have it all back.”

Viewers could see Brenton look emotional while he watched Vanessa’s reaction as she started to tear up.

Her voice broke trying to hold back tears as she told them: “My dad’s back again. You’ve left all the dents in which are lovely.
