Jules Hudson and his young son Jack have issued a plea to fans after they announced a brand new project. The Escape to the Country star was helping his boy, who he shares with wife Tania Fitzgerald, in his dream to become a renovator.

Taking to Instagram, the BBC presenter shared what was going on in the family. He shared a video of the dad and lad on an adventure to find a special item. Captioning the post, the 55-year-old dad penned: "So, last weekend Jack and I popped down to @warehouse701 in search of a little project; Jack’s do-er-upper! we’d love your help if you can! Calling all vintage mower experts! @warehouse701."

Speaking into the camera, the BBC star shared that many families are making use of the excellent weather, including them, as the sun shone down on them. He said: "We are focusing on our garden and if you come to Warehouse 701, as we have this morning, you will find thousands of characteristic historical items."

He added that there was a "fabulous collection" just over Jack's shoulder as he said: "Any one of those would look fantastic in my garden. But we're after, mate, is not out here is it?" Jack shook his head and he replied: "Nope."

They then headed inside to find an item that Jules had "put his name on" some time ago, but wanted to show the youngster. They stopped at a Suffolk Colt antique lawnmower as Jules urged the child to tell everyone why they are looking for a new project.

Jack replied: "We are looking for a project because a few months ago I was talking about renovating an old lawnmower. And we found this one, and we're going to see if we can get this to work."

At the end of the clip, Jules asked the audience for help, saying: "If anybody knows how to get it going, we would absolutely love to hear from you."

Fans were delighted to have an insight into the father and son's bond. One commented: "This is wonderful!! Boys need a good project and having a great dad to help is marvelous to see."

Another added: "Wow Jules, I love places like this one! What a handsome young man Jack is! Have fun!," while a third said: "Love to see you with Jack!"
