The renowned gardening guru, during a conversation with James O'Brien's Full Disclosure podcast in July 2023, confessed that his work commitments often kept him away from home for extended periods.

The 75 year old shared with O'Brien that the most distressing part of departing his family on Sunday nights was bidding his daughters goodnight. He revealed: "It's not something I wanted but it was at a time in my career where I knew it had to be done. The girls would be sort of 10,11 that kind of age.

"I would go away on a Sunday evening and come back later in the weekend. I do remember the heartbreaking thing of kissing one of them goodnight and them asking 'will you be here in the morning?'. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
