The exciting announcement comes as Monty continues to provide viewers with indispensable gardening advice on the latest series of Gardeners' World.

The show, like many programmes, has suffered several setbacks as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, including production and filming being delayed and altered in order to comply with social distancing measures and so continues to use segments recorded by its green-fingered contributors on their own devices.
