The Repair Shop’s Jay Blades will confront his struggles to read in a new BBC One documentary.
He will star in Jay Blades: Learning To Read At 51, which explores his literacy problems.
Blades kept secret the fact he has the reading ability of a child until he was in his 30s and has tried ways to avoid the written word.
He left school with no qualifications and the hour-long film will explore how this has shaped him, the BBC said.
