The Repair Shop: Guests share sad story behind painting
Dominic Chinea is a beloved member of The Repair Shop team so understandably, fans are curious to know all there is about the expert.
Since The Repair Shop first started back in 2017, Dominic has been present at the barn, helping to restore treasured metal items back to their former glory.
As a veteran of the heartwarming BBC reality series, viewers are keen to find out about the star’s life away from the cameras.
Who is The Repair Shop star Dominic Chinea married to?
Dominic prefers to keep his private life away from the public eye but it is known that he is married to producer Maria Dominic.
It isn’t clear how the pair met but it is believed that they got married in 2017, the same year that Dominic joined The Repair Shop.
Maria isn’t one for the limelight but it is clear that she is proud of her husband as she shares a link to purchase Dominic’s book on Amazon via her Instagram bio.
The pair don’t have any children but do share an adorable Spanish water dog called Wendy, and The Repair Shop star regularly posts snaps of her on social media.
His most recent post starred Wendy diving into a lake over three photographs on Instagram.
The cute caption reads: “With the Olympics starting, Wendy has been practicing her diving! How did she do?”
When he isn’t sharing updates from The Repair Shop or Wendy’s latest adventures, Dominic is working on his own projects, including fixing old vintage cars.
He previously opened up about how creative outlets are great for those struggling with their mental health.
“Mental health is a big thing and craft can help anybody,” Dominic said.
“Crafting doesn’t have to be a career. There are so many people whose lives have been affected and saved and changed by doing a craft.”
The Repair Shop is available to watch on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
