Rare is the day you’ll see gardening legend Alan Titchmarsh cry and yet, that’s what happened on the latest episode of ITV’s Love Your Garden. The 74-year-old, who has been appearing on our screens since the early ‘80s, teared up after discovering that a member of the family he’d been helping is one of the youngest people in the UK to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
In Tuesday’s, June 27 episode Alan travelled to Nottinghamshire where he met Daniel Bradbury, 32, and the rest of his family including his two kids. Daniel lives with Alzheimer’s disease.
Alan told the rest of his team while he was planning the garden space: "The other thing we must remember while we're doing this is that Daniel was a landscape gardener when he was diagnosed. He's one of ours isn't he?” He was then overcome with emotion and began to tear up.
