Monty Don presents Gardeners' World

Star of BBC's Gardener's World, Monty Don, has delighted fans with a much-anticipated update. The 69-year-old presenter shared that it would not be long before he was back on screens as he posted a behind the scenes shot to his Instagram account.

In the snap, a camera man could be seen up a ladder, with a sound man stood nearby. They were filming outside in a beautiful spring garden, lined with colourful tulips and fresh, bushy greenery. Monty captioned the image, much to the joy of his fans, as he announced: "Gardener's World back in action in the garden - first programme goes out next Friday."

Fans of the much-loved BBC show were over the moon and rushed to share their excitement in the comments of the post. One penned: "Good news in a world where there isn’t much."

Another added: "Yeahyyyy! The best thing on TV," while a third shared: "Woo hoo! That’s how you know spring is here when GW is back!"

"Thrilled!! Can't wait! Been watching for years, and this is my first year having a garden," one more added. With another writing: "Then next Friday, all will be right with the world once more. Thank you @themontydon."

Monty previously opened up on life behind the scenes of the scenic BBC show. He even admitted that some scenes are "faked".

In Gardeners' World magazine, he explained: "We start filming the new series at the beginning of March. Filming takes place on a Tuesday and Wednesday.

"So, when I go round the garden prior to the meetings, I am weighing up what will be relevant in three weeks' time, as well as what is looking at its best."

"I also list the real-life garden jobs I want to get on with," he added. "The production team then converts this plan into a filming schedule while I brief my team in the garden."

In a cheeky confession, the gardening expert also shared: "Last October, the leaves were immaculately raked and taken to the leafmould bay, but we wanted to film the process, so I had to scatter them over the grass again, ready for filming."
