Back in 2013 he appeared on the Channel 4 show The French Collection, and on BBC show What To Buy and Why.
But his big on-screen break didn’t come until The Repair Shop landed in 2017.
Since then, he’s joined the line-up of Morning Live as a DIY expert, and has had stints on Strike It Lucky and Celebrity MasterChef.
Will and wife Polly Snowdon, who is a psychologist, got married last year in August.
The happy couple had been due to tie the knot a year previously but were forced to cancel their first set of plans because of the Covid pandemic.

Will shared a series of photos from his big day, showing him in a chic navy blue suit and his gorgeous wife Polly in an elegant white dress.
He said: “The best day of my life. Thank you to all who attended and to those that helped to make it happen.”
Will had some of his co-stars at the wedding too and shared a smiling image of them.
Next to a photo of him with his TV pals including Jay, Brenton West and Kirsten Ramsay, he wrote: “I was lucky enough to have some of the Repair Shop family there to celebrate my wedding day. Aren’t they a smart bunch.”
