“One minute you’re 32, and then you’re 60. I’m fairly fit – dodgy knees, but I’m ignoring it.”
Meanwhile, the gardening expert admitted to being “embarrassed” after he was praised on-air.
Nihal’s colleague Hayley admitted she was a “superfan” of Monty and his gardening programmes.
“It was an unexpected thing,” she explained. “Somehow I ended up gardening during the lockdown.”
Hayley explained she tuned into Gardeners’ World and was taken aback by Monty’s “charm” and “genuine” nature.
Hearing her comments, Monty commented: “Obviously, I’m a little bit embarrassed.”
Monty Don’s Adriatic Gardens airs Friday on BBC Two at 8pm.
