Monty: Jobs for weekend are the 'bane of my life!'

Every Friday night, there is a slot called Jobs for the Weekend.

This is when the green-fingered perennial favourite gives tips on what viewers should be doing in their gardens in the coming days, and it is a huge hit with fans.

But the 69-year-old admits it has become increasingly difficult to come up with different things for people to get on with.

"The Jobs for the Weekend items, I know they are very popular but they are the bane of my life," Monty said.

"I long to say 'Jobs for the Weekend? Do what you like, I don't care!'.
