Charlie Dimmock has revealed why she never shows her own garden on camera, despite transforming those of others for a living on BBC's Garden Rescue.
The TV personality, 57, first rose to fame displaying her gardening expertise over 25 years ago alongside the likes of Alan Titchmarsh and Tommy Walsh on Ground Force.
Now on Garden Rescue, she pits herself against her co-stars to to design back yards around the country on a budget.
So, you would expect Charlie's own garden to be a thing of beauty, however, she has previously admitted it is 'a disaster area'.
Charlie told The Express: 'Firstly I have to say my garden isn't always in tip-top condition!

She admitted that because she spends critical times in spring and summer filming for Garden Rescue (seen with co-star Chris Hull), her own garden can be 'a disaster area'

'Unfortunately I tend to be away working at the more critical busy times (spring and summer) so I often get behind.
'With all gardens it's best to do maintenance frequently and regularly that way you actually make the maintenance easier.'
Many amateur gardeners can no-doubt relate to the presenter's overwhelmed feeling, never quite getting the impression that your garden is complete.
Her top tips included doing easier tasks like tackling weeds regularly.
Speaking in 2019, she continued: 'I'm going to try and make my garden look good because I've been doing this so long, it looks like a disaster area! In the autumn, I'm tackling my garden.
'I might get one of the landscape team [from her show] to do a bit of paving for me. I want the autumn to be dry and not too hot and not too cold so I can get on.'
However, Charlie has continued to spend plenty of time focusing on other people's gardens over her own, with Garden Rescue returning on BBC One today at 3.45pm.
She has been one of the show's presenting team since 2016, but made her horticultural breakthrough long before that on Ground Force from 1997 to 2005.
On her return for series nine, Charlie will join co-star Chris Hull in Port Sunlight, Merseyside, to transform a scruffy cottage garden.
Starting April 29, Garden Rescue series nine sees hosts (L-R) Flo Headlam, Lee Burkhill, Charlie and Chris all return
