Alan Titchmarsh hit by 'sudden realisation' as he addresses heartbreaking family losses

Alan Titchmarsh hit by 'sudden realisation' as he addresses heartbreaking family losses Alan Titchmarsh has been a staple on the small screen for decades, but, behind-the-scenes, the Gardeners' World icon has opened up on devastating losses in his personal life Alan Titchmarsh gave a rare glimpse into his family life (Image: Mark Cuthbert, UK Press via Getty Images) Alan Titchmarsh, the beloved television gardening expert, has discussed his experiences with bereavement, before opening up on saying a 'heartbreaking' farewell to his wife and daughters for his career. The presenter has spoken frankly about the devastating effect of losing both of his parents, revealing how their deaths brought about a life-changing realisation. During a heartfelt conversation with radio presenter James O'Brien on a 2023 edition of the Full Disclosure podcast, the much-loved gardener, now 75, discussed his family life. Recognised primarily for his horticultural knowledge on the BBC's Gardeners' World and the popular programme Ground Force, Alan revealed his mother's sense of achievement regarding his success prior to her passing in 2002. Alan Titchmarsh attends The RHS Chelsea Flower Show (Image:) He revealed: "Well, she she was proud of me in the end and that was nice to know, and the thing you realise, as soon as you've lost both your parents.." Taking a moment to explain the timeline, he recalled that his father passed away in 1986, whilst Alan was in his thirties, before his mother's death took place in the early 2000s, when the star was in his fifties. Alan continued: "You suddenly realise there's nobody to impress anymore, nobody to show off to, really, nobody to make proud of you, and I think that's a big realisation for anybody in any walk of life. "I think we all try and do right by our parents in a kind of reflected way, saying, 'Look, I did alright; you saw me right. You grounded me; you brought me up to achieve what I've achieved', and it's not just showing off to your parents. "It's feeling you want to give them some kind of vindication for your life and that they did right by...I was very aware of that when they went and I would still...I'd do something and I'd think, 'Oh, I must ring Alan opened up about the difficult period he endured whilst mourning his losses, acknowledging it was "hard", but revealed that sufficient time has now elapsed where he he doesn't "weep about it" anymore, choosing instead to "believe that they're looking down" on him. Alan Titchmarsh with wife Alison who he married in 1975 (Image: Dave) Alan also spoke about how he courageously made the jump into freelance work back in 1980. This bold move occurred when the gardening expert and his wife, Alison, were anticipating the arrival of their first child. He had recently left his position at Kew Gardens and ventured into journalism, feeling reluctant to remain settled in his magazine role. Speaking on Full Disclosure, Alan revealed: "I warned Alison that my income would probably halve in the first year."

Currently writing for Gardeners' World Magazine, Alan also hinted at the inevitable time when he'll put down his pen for good, explaining he'll "stop" should he ever find it "impossible to find a current angle on it".

Iga Swiatek was crowned Wimbledon champion earlier this summer (Image: Getty) ‌ "I will focus on myself and do what I've been doing, because for sure I feel like there's been progress at this tournament. I just want to continue that, no matter what the result is. "I feel the love here, it's a great place to be. People of Cincinnati are so nice, everywhere we go, even though we're here to play, we feel like we can have peace and just relax when off the court. "So thank you guys for coming out, rooting for us and see you tomorrow."

TV fans defend 'unbelievably stupid' crime thriller that's streaming for free

There's a new crime thriller out on Channel 4 which has proven divisive among those that have already watched it. The German drama Hellground – originally titled Höllgrund when it aired in Germany in 2022 – is described as a 'dark' eight-part tale which is set in the seemingly idyllic Black Forest village. That is until the popular village GP dies and the coppers start to think there was some foul play afoot in the death. Then, one murder leads to others –at which point it becomes clear there is indeed something afoot. Local police officer Tanja Hartholz (Lou Strenger) launches an investigation which encompasses the Schwarzwald village's past. The deeper she begins to dig, the more pushback she gets from the community, and the more evident it becomes that this spate of violence is connected to a decades-old event in the village's history. At just thirty minute episodes a pop, this latest addition to Channel 4's Walter Presents platform is one you'll be able to breeze through easily enough. What you make of the show might depend though, since it's garnered mixed reaction from viewers so far. Hellground currently holds a 6.3 rating out of 10 on IMDb. Hellground viewers have taken to Google reviews to share their take on the series, with some criticising elements of the show while others lept to its defence. One of those on the ante camp was Uwe Mohs, who described the show as 'unbelievably unbelievable' and awarded it two stars on account of the show's soundtrack. Mohs wrote: 'The story would be good if it weren't so completely out of touch with reality. All the protagonists' actions are so unbelievably stupid that it's infuriating. Under Fire . Plenty of work/life balance drama in this fire fighting station, set in Belgium. . Plenty of work/life balance drama in this fire fighting station, set in Belgium. The Shadow .

A former special forces father must find a way to save himself and his daughter from the terrifying forces threatening to end them before it is too late in this hike-gone-wrong. 'The village idiot of a police officer is the icing on the cake.' Joshi H savagely echoed: 'I've rarely seen such nonsense. If only the ending had been halfway decent, but here too, it wasn't surprising that it wasn't.' More Trending However, others were quick to defend the show against the hate, with Marie Beckers writing: 'So I have no idea what's wrong with everyone. I'm watching it for the second time now. Really the best German series.' 'It starts off a bit slow, but develops into a blast,' added Frank Wolfram. 'I found it very entertaining.' R. H. simply wrote: 'Great, great, great. Great series.' as Peter Utzschneider added in their review: 'A highly successful German thriller series with fantastic acting, great dialogue, plot, and a great score. Definitely recommended if you like a bit of off-the-wall action.' View More » Hellground is available to stream on Channel 4. Got a story?
