Monty Don has hosted Gardner’s World on the BBC on and off since 2003, but rumors are rife that he is looking to quit the show permanently this year.
Monty Don is ready to retire as a presenter and has taken steps to placate worried fans who are convinced his show Gardener’s World will be cancelled.
The 68-year-old broadcaster has hosted the long-running BBC program, which has been broadcast since 1968, since 2003. He left the show in 2008 and returned in 2011, but the star recently hinted that his time on the gardening show was coming to an end for the second time, causing controversy among fans. Concerns are growing.
The rumor eventually started when the presenter himself gave an interview to Radio Times in which he hinted that he was tired of spending hours on TV and recording shows. “The logical thing to do is to abandon Gardeners’ World,” he told the magazine, sparking alarm among fans.
But in a new interview, Monty tried to allay fears that he might soon disappear from our screens, hinting that he could be hosting Gardner’s World for at least three more years. . Regarding rumors that she was quitting that she had caused, Monty confessed: She was tired and thought she should rest, but it was naive of her to say so. ”
He further explained to the Times: “I can say without any hesitation that I am very happy to continue for three more years. I have one more year left on my contract and we have two more years left.” We are negotiating for 2020,” he said. I entered the presentation world 22 years ago, but had never gone down a long-term path before, so this was the most exciting experience I’ve ever experienced in my life. This is a long-term initiative. ”
Monty has also been forced to confront rumors on social media. Last week, he highlighted the fact that he was appearing on Gardner’s World, as an official BBC X post stated: And just like Ned, we can’t wait! Only two weeks left,” she wrote, along with a snap of Monty dancing with her dog.
Fans reacted to the image, writing: “So sad this is the last series,” along with a sad face emoji. However, this provoked Monty to make comments suggesting that reports of his termination were greatly exaggerated. He wrote back to a fan: “What’s the last series?” – hinted that he would continue to direct the show.
And just last month, Monty addressed rumors of his departure during an appearance on The One Show. He was confronted by show host Alex Jones: “Well, Monty, we have to come to you… There’s a rumor in the paper and I don’t like it. That’s what you and Gardener’s World say, Monty. My favorite day is Friday. Farewell. Can you please tell me this isn’t true?”
Replying to the Welsh presenter, he admitted: “That’s not true… All things being equal, unless I do something terribly wrong, I won’t be doing it for at least another three years.” Sho.”
