Alan Titchmarsh, the 74-year-old TV presenter and author, has been a familiar face in British homes for over three decades, with his love for gardening being the cornerstone of his career.
Alan and Alison, a medical doctor by profession, divide their time between their historic Grade-II listed farmhouse in Hampshire and their vacation home on the Isle of Wight near Cowes. He's also a man who values his wife's opinion highly, even when it comes to potential TV gigs, including turning down a twirl on Strictly Come Dancing.
He revealed: "Strictly asked me again this year for the sixth time. My wife taught dance and she said my knees won't take the lifts and I think she's quite right. So I stay clear of that one."
