The Queen's soft spot confession to TV presenter Alan Titchmarsh as they met

Television presenter Alan Titchmarsh has struck up a rather unlikely friendship with a Royal as he hosted the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations on Sunday night.

The Queen and Alan have developed a close bond over the years, as the 73-year-old was part of the hosting party to celebrate her 70-year reign on the throne.

The 96-year-old has admitted she has a soft spot for the gardener, making him perfectly suited for the hosting role, reports the Mirror.
