He is currently a cast member of The Repair Shop on BBC One, and has been since 2017.
How old is Will Kirk?
Will appears to be very secretive about his age. Or perhaps no one has asked him!
We do know that he graduated in 2010, and launched his own London-based furniture restoration in 2012.
This places Will in his early thirties.
