Alan Titchmarsh reveals his expletive-laden response after being asked to take part on Dancing On Ice

Alan Titchmarsh once turned down an invitation to compete on Dancing On Ice, using uncharacteristically colourful language.

Britain’s favourite gardener Alan Titchmarsh recently gave a tell-all interview in The Times, in which he covers, among other things, what he has for breakfast, life in post-war England, the secret to a long-lasting marriage, and… what he told ITV when they asked him to compete in Dancing On Ice. He co-presented with Myleene Klass in 2010, but he left the show after the first series concluded, saying later that he’s “not a reality TV type”. Alan Titchmarsh presented Gardening Club in 2024 and currently hosts Love Your Weekend, which features interviews with celebrity guests.
