It comes after Monty shared a cryptic post following months of speculation that he is leaving Gardeners' World after 21 years. The gardener has hosted the BBC series since 2003, taking over from Alan Titchmarsh.

Taking to Instagram, the dad-of-three shared a photo of his garden with his pet dog Ned in full view. He simply captioned the picture: "Standing at the crossroads."

Monty sparked Gardeners' World exit rumours after announcing overseas work back in April. He announced that his American followers can now order his latest book after it was released in the UK last year.
