Charlie Dimmock had ‘no regrets’ over the Garden Force affair which ended relationship
Charlie Dimmock once shared how she had no regrets about her relationship with her Garden Force co-star. The presenter looked back on this time in her life shortly after the affair went public in an unearthed chat.
Charlie dated viticulturist John Mushet in the 1990s for 13 years.
The couple lived in Hampshire together after meeting when they were both in New Zealand in the late eighties.
However, the couple split up in 2001 after Charlie had a short relationship with her Ground Force colleague.
She briefly dated microphone operator Andy Simmons who worked on the gardening show with her.

Speaking back in 2014 to the Daily Mail, she explained she was “content” without a man in her life.
Charlie also told the Irish Independent in 2016 how she was “past marriage”.
She said: “I’m way past marriage at this point.
“I’m going to be 50 this year. Even sharing a house with someone would be a no for me.
“I like my own company. I like to do what I want to do, I’m very selfish like that.
“I don’t mind fitting in a bit, but I like to be able to get away and have the house to myself.”
Elsewhere, Charlie reflected on her Garden Force days and becoming known for not wearing bras.
The star admitted she was once chided by Esther Rantzen over her braless appearance.
She explained back in 2014: “TV presenter Esther Rantzen said to me, ‘You’ll be labelled the bra-less one for the rest of your life.’
“Ground Force was a long time ago, and I have to say, even now, people will bring it up. It is very silly.”
