The Repair Shop's resident woodwork and furniture restorer Will Kirk is heading on the road for a tour.

He will be taking his impressive skills to four locations in the UK, spanning over four dates between July 15th and the 19th.

The exciting tour news comes on the heels of the BBC TV personality launching a book titled, Restore: The Art of Caring for the Things You Love.

Will's new book details the elements of wood care and restoration, from basic principles and quick fixes around the home to larger projects that will hopefully prompt fans to get working on their own restoration projects.

With these two big ventures almost in full swing, just how much could The Repair Shop star rake in?

Speaking to Express Online, Social Media Expert for TV, Film and Entertainment Harvey Morton has predicted the stagging earnings Will could earn off the back of his new career plans.

"It's brilliant to see Will's career going so well after the success of The Repair Shop," Harvey said, as he claimed: "He can expect to earn a six-figure sum from the tour and book deal."

And there is more good news in store for Will according to Harvey, as the expert shared: "I think this could really boost his career away from The Repair Shop and attract other opportunities and projects for Will.

Harvey also believes Will could enter the world of social media influencing, thanks to his hefty followership on Instagram.

"He also has an impressive social media following of 177k," Harvey pointed out, as he went on to explain: "So I would expect him to embrace more brand partnerships going forward, using his platform to talk about causes and products he's passionate about."

For now, Will is sticking to what he does best and fans can catch him on tour later this year as he gives his expertise on all things woodwork and restoration.

He is also expected to make an appearance in the 13th series of The Repair Shop, which premiered on April 10.

The Repair Shop airs on BBC and is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
