Monty Don has confirmed his departure from BBC Gardeners’ World, ending a 23-year association with the long-running gardening program.
The BBC issued a statement described as a ‘bombshell’ regarding Don’s exit, signaling an abrupt and unexpected change for the show.
Don’s tenure with Gardeners’ World spanned over two decades, with multiple sources noting his involvement for more than 20 years.
Frances Tophill, another presenter on the program, has addressed the topic of replacing Don, though no official successor has been named.
The BBC’s Metro.co.uk page officially announced Don’s departure, while the Daily Record framed the news as a ‘heartbreaking statement’ for fans.
