Alan Titchmarsh defends not using real home for ITV show Love Your Weekend amid Meghan Markle backlash
ALAN Titchmarsh has defended not using his real home for his show, Love Your Weekend.
This comes after Meghan Markle has faced backlash for using a rented house for her Netflix lifestyle show, With Love Meghan.
Alan, 75, has fronted many programmes on a number of networks over his decades long career, including the hit BBC programme, Gardener’s World.
His ITV show Love Your Weekend aims to celebrate all that is great about the British countryside as he hosts segments on arts, crafts, manufacturing and produce.
Huge names often appear which have recently included Katherine Jenkins and Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page.
Despite the impression that the barn set is from his own lavish property, the daytime show is actually filmed at Manor Farm in Hampshire.
Viewers have loved watching the antics from the Grade II-listed Georgian farmhouse studio.
Appearing on the Spooning with Mark Wogan podcast, the presenter defended the decision not to film the show on his own property.
“Love Your Weekend is a couple of villages away. It’s not my barn. It’s not a big [deal]. I’ve adopted it,” he explained.
Mark then jokingly slammed TV presenters that give the impression they use their own homes for their TV shows.
He remarked: “What is it with you people who are on the weekend who give us the impression that you are in your own homes and you’re not?”
Adding: “I mean, James Martin does the same.”
However, the horticultural expert insisted that he has nothing to hide, and that other people might simply assume things.
“No, I’ve never said it’s my own home, it’s just where I am every Sunday, but it’s … yeah,
“People associate you with a place and suddenly it becomes yours.”
This comes as Meghan ditched her Montecito mansion and hired a neighbour’s £5million farmhouse to film her new Netflix cooking show.
Alan Titchmarsh spoke on Spooning With Mark Wogan podcast.
Major blow to Holly Willoughby as ITV confirms new gigs for Stephen Mulhern after DOI axe – but snub former golden girl
Dancing on Ice might have been frozen out by ITV — but host Stephen Mulhern’s career is just heating up.
After The Sun revealed yesterday that the skate show was being rested after 19 series, I can share that the channel has moved to swiftly renew Stephen’s contract and book him to front a string of shows.
But that’s not the case for his DOI co-host Holly Willoughby, who seems to be out in the cold.
As it stands, the broadcaster says it has no new projects confirmed for Holly for the first time since she joined ITV in 2004.
A source said: “Despite the sad news that Dancing on Ice won’t be returning next year, this clearly isn’t going to slow Stephen down any time soon.
“His 2025 schedule is already packed, with Celebrity Catchphrase and Deal or No Deal continuing to be solid favourites.
He is also launching a brand-new travel show, Accidental Tourist, later this year.
And there’s positive signs for a second series of You Bet! following its successful return last year.
“That’s not the case for Holly, though, with nothing confirmed for her at ITV right now.”
Holly took to social media yesterday to express her sadness over the news about Dancing on Ice.
She wrote: “I will miss it hugely, but I count myself so lucky to have had it for as long as we did. Finally thank you to you for watching, you’re the best!”
While Holly may have no ITV jobs planned, her schedule with Netflix is heating up, with filming for series two of Celebrity Bear Hunt coming up.
Holly first began on Ministry of Mayhem when she was 23 years old, and continued to become ITV’s most important female host.
The source added: “Holly is a brilliant presenter and will always remain busy even if it’s not at ITV.
“But the channel remains heavily invested in Stephen, who’s earned his crown as one of ITV’s biggest stars.”
Gru are you?
He’s known for his blue jeans, tight t-shirts and designer stubble.
But Simon Cowell is looking a little less pristine this weekend when a troop of dancing Minions take over Britain’s Got Talent.
The ITV show’s top boss is besieged by the scamps, who drape him in fancy dress to look just like the evil villain from the Despicable Me film, Gru.
Wrestled into a bald cap with comedy long nose and a scarf, Simon will be glad to reach the live shows next month.
For the first time, the run-up to the grand final will air on Saturday nights instead of across one week.
Simon said: “Saturday nights are a bigger night than say a Tuesday or Wednesday.
People have jobs, they work late, the kids might have things on or be away.
“But Saturday night can be a party, the family can all get together and watch the show together, so it makes sense to me!”
Catch the latest auditions on ITV1 and ITVX on Saturday at 7pm.
Got more designs on Alan
Comic Alan Carr and home style guru Michelle Ogundehin will be putting ten hopefuls through their paces as Interior Design Masters returns – with one lucky winner securing a life-changing contract.
The sixth run of the series, which starts on BBC One on April 10, will also feature guest experts, including Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.
Contestants include Ayisha, a design student from Brighton who has modelled in Vogue, and textiles designer Holly, from Salford, who has collaborated with recycling clothes brand Lucy & Yak.
Design and technology teacher John, product director Victoria, visual merchandising consultant Rita, textiles teacher Emma, giftware designer Craig, mum Briony, social media executive Bradley and sexual health charity manager Ese complete the line-up.
Former Blue Peter presenter Konnie Huq will host new prank show Undercover Education on Channel 4. It features industry pros put through their paces by an “intern” who turns out to be a further education teacher, and has been made with the help of the Department for Education.
Sport a hot topic for doc
The effects of climate change on sport are being scrutinised in a new documentary.
Playing for Our Future will follow sports presenter Reshmin Chowdhury as she discovers how sports are adapting to severe weather patterns.
Starting at Villa Park in Birmingham – one of four football clubs at risk of being partially or totally flooded by 2050 – Reshmin looks at what is being done to avoid disaster.
While at Tottenham Hotspur’s stadium, she learns about sustainable practices such as renewable energy.
Reshmin also looks at cricket, and how Australia is changing the scheduling of games to avoid dangerously hot temperatures for players.
It will be available to stream on discovery+ from April 1.
Three Songs of Praise specials will air over the Easter weekend. One will see Gogglebox star Rev Kate Bottley cover the women of the Easter story, while singers Aled Jones and Mark De-Lisser will lead the other two episodes that look at hymns and gospel music.
Floyd’s murder revisited
A new BBC documentary will mark five years since the murder of George Floyd – the police killing that set America ablaze and sparked a wave of protests across the world.
The feature-length film, which will air on BBC Two in May after a release in cinemas, will tell the story of his death, and look into the global reaction in the days that followed.
Backlash: The Murder of George Floyd features interviews with his family, as well as the Minneapolis police chief Medaria Arradondo, who testified against Derek Chauvin the officer who killed 46-year-old George.
It will also involve UK celebs including comedian Munya Chawawa, musician Che Lingo and actress Nathalie Emmanuel – who were all at protests demanding change.
Director Kwabena Oppong says his film looks at what has – and hasn’t – changed since the murder.

Tributes paid to one of League of Ireland’s ‘most inspirational leaders and finest ever footballers’ following sad death
GALWAY UNITED has led the tributes following the sad death of John Herrick.
The former Republic of Ireland international has passed away at the age of 78.
He won league and cup honours with Cork Hibernians and went on to play 97 times for Galway Rovers while he also managed the club twice.
It was during his time at the helm of Rovers that the club got to the 1980 League Cup final.
In an emotional tribute, Galway United praised him as one of the “most inspirational leaders and finest ever footballers”.
United said: “John’s play was fiery, aggressive, determined and an inspiration to all.
“That a man of his stature showed such power and resolve set the benchmark for colleagues and charmed local supporters.
“John settled in Galway with his wife Pat to raise their family.
“It could truthfully be said about John that he epitomised the Gaeilge phrase, b’fhear é nach ndearna dhá leath dhá dhícheall ariamh.
“He was a man who never spared himself.
“He supported and counselled many in a quiet discreet fashion. His pride and love for his family was central to his very being.
“In his craftmanship as a sign-writer, in his beautiful and accomplished paintings and in his study and love of Gaeilge John showed that he was much more than an ex-international footballer.
“He lived life to the full and connected to the core of Galway life .
“We send our deepest condolences to his wife Pat and sons Mark and Paul and to all the Herrick family.”
Herrick’s son Mark played for Cork City, with the Leesiders joining tributes to his dad.
The club said: “Everyone at Cork City FC is saddened to learn of the passing of John Herrick.
“John was a former Cork Hibernians player, and father of former City player, Mark Herrick.
“Our thoughts are with the Herrick family at this time. May John rest in peace.”
And the League of Ireland official social media account said: “We are saddened to hear the passing of John Herrick, a League of Ireland legend who counts great careers at Galway United, Shamrock Rovers and Cork Hibernians amongst his illustrious CV.
“Capped by the Republic of Ireland, John won the LOI with Cork in 1971, and the Men’s FAI Cup in 1972 and will be greatly missed by all in the League.”

Millie Mackintosh reveals she’s had surgery after breaking bone in nasty home injury
MILLIE Mackintosh has reveals that she’s had surgery after breaking her nose following a painful home injury.
The former Made In Chelsea star, 35, told fans that her five-year-old daughter Sienna had accidentally fractured my nose.
Millie returned to social media with photos of her nose in a cast.
In one picture, she is seen smiling for a selfie from her hospital bed.
Another snap shows her appearing to be in agony while holding a bag of frozen peas against her nose shortly after the accident.
After the surgery, Millie returned home with her nose bandaged up.
She posted a picture of her sweet daughter curled up next to her as she recovered from the operation.
Millie shared her ordeal, writing: “If I’ve been quiet on here recently, there’s a reason why…
“Three weeks ago, Aurelia accidentally fractured my nose!
“She threw her head back while I was holding her and the back of her skull hit me right in the middle of my nose.
“I heard a crack, went to get it checked, and ended up needing surgery at the end of last week to correct the fracture.
“Has this ever happened to other parents? Seriously a parenting low — but also, you kind of have to laugh.”
Millie explained that the incident happened when the youngster was having a tantrum.
“Sienna is nearly five and has been having huge meltdowns and violent tantrums,” she shared.
“We’ve been setting new boundaries at home and supporting her through the adjustment, and it does seem to be helping.
“I realised I wasn’t being firm enough — she thought she had all the power, and it just wasn’t a healthy dynamic.”
The reality star explained that she’d been experiencing some challenges in her personal life lately which has taken its toll on her.
“I hadn’t had one in months, but this week I had a panic attack,” Millie said.
“I felt like I was going to pass out, and for about three hours it kept coming in waves.
“The difference is, I knew what it was.
“I talked to myself kindly, breathed through the discomfort, and put ice on the back of my neck — which really helped.
“A year ago, this would have ruined my whole day, maybe even my week. I can see how far I’ve come.
“Lately I’ve been worrying about my social media — is anyone seeing this? Is it good enough? Lots of comparison and self-doubt creeping in. I’d love your feedback — what do you want to see more of on my page?
“And Aurelia is in a real tricky phase. Everything’s wrong — clothes are too itchy, the bath is too bubbly, pasta is too wobbly, her smoothie isn’t pink enough… You get the picture.
“Most nights I end up in her bed to get her back to sleep and fall asleep there too. I love the cuddles, but I miss sleeping through the night!”
