The TV gardener, 75, is preparing the ground for his own channel that shows him working in his garden and giving tips.

He hopes it will attract young and old alike, saying: “The thing about YouTube is it has a really broad audience and a lot of them are young.

“I'm not, I hope, a boring old fart talking. I mean, I don't think about my age ever. I'm still me and there's so much of the 15-year-old me who left school to go and be a gardener still in me.

“I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing but it keeps you interested, keeps you alive and lively.”
