Garden Rescue returns to BBC One and iPlayer with brand new additions to its presenting line up
Recommissioned for series 11, BBC Daytime's popular weekday gardening programme Garden Rescue is to have a fresh new look, with the addition of some of the country's best-known gardeners. Joining the team are Diarmuid Gavin, Frances Tophill, Joe Swift, and Sue Kent - four top designers bringing their vision, creativity, and unique garden flair. Together, they'll add a fun new dimension to the show, along with their unique design perspectives and a healthy dose of Garden Rescue friendly competition.
They'll be joining fan favourites Charlie Dimmock, Lee Burkhill, Chris Hull, and Flo Headlam, who've been inspiring audiences and transforming outdoor spaces across the country.
Each episode will see one designer go head-to-head with one of the new recruits, each pitching their vision to homeowners who are desperate for a dream outdoor space but don't know where to begin. As always, there's only one design that gets chosen and brought to life.
From family-friendly gardens to serene, low-maintenance retreats, the team will bring their trademark transformations to gardens across the country bringing imaginative solutions, and plenty of banter, gardening tips and surprises along the way.
Caroline O'Neill, Assistant Commissioning Editor for BBC Daytime comments, 'It's great to have such well-loved and hugely respected gardeners joining the team. Each bringing their green fingers and creative flair to their unique designs, making for the best competitions yet! Audiences will also get to enjoy revisiting the spaces to see how the people are using their newly transformed gardens, with lots of helpful tips and tricks to be mastered at home too.'
Executive Producer Sarah Trigg for Spun Gold TV comments: 'We're absolutely thrilled to be making another brand-new series of Garden Rescue. It's a joy to see our brilliant existing designers joining forces with a fantastic line up of garden designers. We can't wait to see the amazing transformations they'll create together and to share them with all of you at home.'

Zoe Henry and Jeff Hordley Emmerdale favourites Zoe and Jeff, who play Rhonda Goskirk and Cain Dingle met at drama college in 1994 and have been together ever since. While working together might be too much for some couples, that's definitely not the case for Zoe and Jeff. Zoe previously told The Sun: "Working on the same show as Jeff also helps because if one of us is having a bad day then the other will completely understand." Lesley Dunlop and Chris Chittell Lesley and Chris are another Dales romantic success story. Unlike some of the other soap stars, the pair who play Brenda Walker and Eric Pollard, are together on and off screen, officially tying the knot in 2016. They also adore working together, but have clear home-work boundaries. "We make a point of not talking about Emmerdale when we're at home, though – that would be just too sad, wouldn't it?" Chris revealed. Sally Carman and Joe Duttine Abi Franklin and Tim Metcalfe actors Sally and Joe got together after meeting on the set of Coronation Street in 2017 and they tied the knot in July 2022.

Anthony Cotton and Peter Eccleston Sean Tully may have been unlucky in love on the cobbles, but in real life Antony's met his Prince Charming. The soap star started dating long-term partner Peter in 2005, after they met when he was working as an assistant props buyer on Corrie.

Nadine Mulkerrin and Rory Douglas Speed Nadine Mulkerrin, and Rory Doulas Speed are known for their Hollyoaks alter egos Cleo McQueen and Joel Dexter.

So if you were to go every day for the three-month period, it means you would be paying less than £1 a day. There are some exclusion dates which apply to all of the theme parks in the offer. They include August 24 and 25 and October 18, 25, 26 and 31. Jordan Middleton, head of Merlin Annual Pass, commented: "A Merlin Annual Pass is the perfect way to access a summer of adventure for families and thrill-seekers alike for a great price. "With unlimited access to a whole host of exhilarating attractions, a Merlin Annual Pass offers unforgettable memories right on your doorstep. With the Thorpe Park Thrill Pass, for example, visitors can enjoy three months of access to the attraction - which is home to over 25 rides, including its 'Big 6' coasters. One of these rollercoasters boasts the title of the UK's tallest, fastest and most weightless rollercoaster - Hyperia. There are also water rides to enjoy on the hotter days. At Alton Towers Resort - the UK's largest theme park - there are over 40 rides and attractions for all ages. Kids can enter Diggerland for free with this trick There are 10 main rollercoasters, each of which have record-breaking elements too. For younger children, there are 20 attractions including the only place in the UK where visitors can meet some of CBeebies best-loved characters. Meanwhile, at Chessington World of Adventures there is a theme park, zoo and Sea Life centre. The destination boasts over 40 rides and attractions and over 1,000 animals. And finally, at Legoland Windsor Resort there are over 55 rides and attractions based on Lego and Duplo brands and designed for three to 12-year-olds. There are approximately 47million Lego bricks throughout the park, with around 20million in Miniland alone. 5 5 Alternatively, annual passes are still available, with multiple different options that also have free parking and discounts on food and hotel stays. In addition, Legoland is even getting a grand new look. Earlier in June, new images revealed that the entrance gates to the park will undergo an upgrade. The plans show that two new structures will be built on either side of the Legoland sign - which look like giant Lego bricks. They will also include Lego characters such as knights and ninjas. Lego characters such as knights and ninjas are also on the towers. Other upgrades at the park include a new Brick Street Cafe, improved bag search and ticket areas and crossing. Plus, The Sun's Veronica Lorraine recently tested all the rollercoasters at Thorpe Park. 5
