Monty Don bedridden for days in health update after Gardeners’ World absence worries fans

Monty Don, 66, revealed he has contracted coronavirus after spending the last few days feeling “utterly exhausted” while trying to recover in bed. The Gardeners’ World host admitted that having the illness hadn’t been “fun” but reassured fans he was feeling “better” this morning.

@Marlene83206325 shared: “Get well soon Monty, covid is a real bummer, but don’t try to push yourself once negative. It takes more than you realise.”

@NewpPaul remarked: “It really knocks you down. Don’t rush back to work, the recovery is quite slow in some cases. All the best.”

@Lorrielaughs said: “Take it easy Monty it can come back just when you think you are past the worst.”

It comes as two weeks ago, Gardeners’ World viewers all had the same complaint as Monty went missing from the popular BBC2 show.

Monty recently revealed that he will be hitting the road with his new tour later this year, travelling across the UK, Scotland and Wales over 10 days.

The gardening fanatic was recently joined on the show during the last series by the Duchess of Cornwall, where she received a detailed tour of his home.
