Alan Titchmarsh Charms Viewers with Adorable Puppy Introduction on ‘Love Your Weekend’
Broadcaster Alan Titchmarsh captivated audiences during a recent episode of ITV’s ‘Love Your Weekend’, delivering a heartfelt introduction alongside some delightful new guests. The 75-year-old gardening aficionado was filmed seated on a hay bale, surrounded by a litter of tiny border collie puppies as he commenced the program. While one puppy, nestled securely in Titchmarsh’s arms, vocalized its desire for attention, he affectionately petted the small dog and spoke to it softly.
Springtime Joy and New Beginnings
Addressing viewers, Titchmarsh announced: “Spring has truly arrived, and new life is flourishing everywhere, from the opening of early tulips to the delicate flight of newly emerged butterflies. And that’s not all!” He was playfully interrupted by a particularly enthusiastic puppy seeking more cuddles. Responding to the pup, he chuckled, “Yes, yes, I’m getting to you! A big hello to the world from these little ones, five-week-old border collies. It’s a season of fresh starts and renewed optimism, which is quite fitting, as I certainly have high hopes for today’s show. So what do you think, pups? Shall we begin? Bark once for yes. Never mind. It’s time for Love Your Weekend, I think!”
Social Media Reacts to Puppy Love
Online users expressed their delight at the charming introduction, with one X user posting: “I desperately want those puppies #AlanTitchmarsh was cuddling,” accompanied by a sad face emoji.
Tears and Family Reflections
This heartwarming moment follows a previous episode where Titchmarsh became emotional on air while sharing a touching revelation about his daughters. During a conversation with Jenny Agutter and Renee Bailey about ‘The Railway Children’, in which Agutter played Bobbie, Titchmarsh was visibly moved.
The scene of Bobbie eagerly anticipating her father’s return deeply affected Titchmarsh, so much so that his wife Alison and daughters Polly and Camilla presented him with a garden bench inscribed with the poignant phrase: “Daddy, my daddy.”

Family Bonds and Enduring Love
Titchmarsh revealed to The Times that he finds it difficult to watch the film with his daughters, and that their childhood names remain on their bedroom doors, despite both being in their forties and living independently.
In one of his books, the presenter candidly admitted: “Fathers of sons have expectations. Fathers of daughters have worries. You are constantly concerned about them.”
He elaborated, “I mean, not excessively worried, because I cherished their company, and they are now mothers themselves, and I have four grandchildren. But a parent is only as happy as their most troubled child, and that sentiment extends to grandchildren as well.”
