Gardeners' World star Alan Titchmarsh takes swipe at BBC star who 'lives in London'
Alan's remarks came as he described a typical Saturday, which might include a shopping trip using something a BBC star has reportedly said they don't like
Alan Titchmarsh has aimed a swipe at a BBC Radio 2 star who "lives in London" over purported comments about something he owns. Alan's remarks came as he described a typical Saturday with his wife, Alison, in an interview in which the couple recently moved into a new home in Surrey after "living in Hampshire around farmland for 40 years".
By 7am, the Ground Force icon is making a brew for Alison and is "up and at 'em", enjoying a crossword to keep his mind sharp, and, of course, popping outside to check on his beloved garden. At 11am, they might head out for a shopping trip; for this purpose, it seems they'll likely use their trusty four-by-fours. Yet, Alan claims that one BBC star isn't a fan of the vehicles.

Indeed, he says that the radio host "slags them off", but he and Alison need them, especially when it comes to tackling local potholes, noting that the host lives in the capital.
He told The Telegraph: "Ali and I might head out and do a bit of [homeware] shopping. We've lived in Hampshire around farmland for 40 years, so both of us have four-by-fours. It's all right when Jeremy Vine slags them off, but he lives in London.
"Out here, we need them! If you saw our potholes! When the two of us are driving, we're almost always locked in conversation but I play music when I’m alone – either Classic FM, Radio 3 or Radio 4.
"The car picks up my iPhone music and I often listen to the score for the latest series of All Creatures Great and Small by Alexandra Harwood. It's lovely."
Keen cyclist Jeremy previously documented drivers breaking traffic laws and shared these on social media in an effort to spotlight the dangers faced by cyclists.
He brought this practice to an end after experiencing online "trolling". He explained on X: "I'm stopping my cycling videos. The trolling just got too bad. They have had well over 100 million views but in the end the anger they generate has genuinely upset me."
Indeed, it reportedly got so bad that he received death threats for posting videos of drivers, with some cruelly dubbing him "England's biggest ***hole".
He said: "Some of the biggest videos were actually about the smallest incidents, like someone turning left in front of me.
"People are happy to discuss it and I actually think that we'd all be safer if we all understood each other. People are going to drive 4x4s in Kensington and whatnot, but they need to have a bit of care for me on a bicycle.
"You might be in total control when you pass close by, but the person on a bicycle doesn't know that. I just hope I was part of a dialogue about it."
