Inside Charlie Dimmock's 13-year relationship with John Mushet which ended with Ground Force co-star affair as star is back on screens after two year break


Charlie Dimmock's relationship with viticulturist John Mushet lasted thirteen years, ending after a scandalous affair with Ground Force microphone operator Andy Simmons.

He would accompany Charlie to red carpet television events, as she became a household name in horticulture for her work on Ground Force with Alan Titchmarsh and Tommy Walsh, drawing in 12 million viewers at their peak. Tragically, Dimmock's life went through further upheaval during the final years of the hit outdoor show, when her mother and stepfather died in Thailand's Boxing Day Tsunami in 2004 while they were on holiday in Phuket. But the presenter is now back on screens to the delight of fans in Garden Rescue, alongside the likes of Chris Hull with whom she competes to create stunning outdoor spaces for homeowners across the UK.
