BBC's Gardeners' World is a staple of the broadcaster, and has been running consistently with a fabulous rotation of presents since 1968, including the likes of Alan Titchmarsh, Monty Don and Adam Frost. Every now and then, the beloved series has a bit of a shake up, and it appears that yet another one is on the horizon – and much sooner than fans might have been prepared for. Taking to Instagram, Monty Don and the series' official Instagram page released a joint post, and fans have been both excited and nervous about what may come.

It read: "We're back at Longmeadow this week, where there's been a rather dramatic change in the Writing Garden. All will be revealed tonight at 8pm on BBC Two."
In the comment section, fans had a lot to say about the change. One wrote: "Anxious to see that. You are the sunshine missing here in USA." Another penned: "Oh… can't we have more beautiful gardens like last week."
Others were more excited about the potential shake-up, with one fan commenting: "I've booked the best seat in the house [smiling emoji] [thumbs up emoji]." A second wrote: "I look forward to tonight's episode with Monty and cute Ned".
Monty Don recently left fans divided with a recipe
Though Monty has a loyal following thanks to his tenure on the show, every now and then, he does cause a bit of a stir amongst his fanbase. He recently faced some criticism after he shared a recipe featuring ingredients from his garden to social media, which some loved and others weren't so sure about.

His followers were very quick to share their thoughts. One confused fan asked: "Monty, I love you but what is this?", while another joked: "Monty, I would follow you off a cliff but I'm drawing the line at creamy, warm." On the other hand, some were more approving, with one penning: "Love the sound of that. I have really enjoyed cucumber in stir fries and even a cucumber curry but not tried it like this!" A second wrote: "How interesting! Never seen it cooked. Will try!"
