Sobbing The Repair Shop guest honours her late mum's dying wish

A sobbing The Repair Shop guest was left feeling 'like she'd been kicked in the stomach' as she honoured her late mum's dying wish with a heart-wrenching ballet shoe restoration. The 16th series of the much-loved BBC show returned to our screens on Wednesday night at 8pm. One of the guests Julie Felix, Britain's first black ballerina, appeared on the programme to see if the experts could help bring her dancing shoes back to life. She recall ed how important her mum was when trying to break into the industry, especially the tough times she went through, including when a London ballet school rejected her because of the colour of her skin.
