Charlie Dimmock in fight for screen time as four new gardeners join Garden Rescue
Diarmuid Gavin, Frances Tophill, Joe Swift and Sue Kent are joining the show
Garden Rescue has been recommissioned for series 11, but we might be seeing a lot less of fan-favourite Charlie Dimmock, 58, on our screens.
That’s because four new gardening gurus are joining the show. And Charlie will have to do battle with them to earn the right to makeover viewers’ homes.

Garden Rescue shake-up as Charlie Dimmock gets four new co-stars
Series 10 of the gardening show is currently airing on BBC One. Currently, Charlie only has to pit her gardening wits against three other gardeners – Lee Burkhill, Chris Hull and Flo Headlam.
Two of the stars go head-to-head on each episode, designing a garden they hope will win over the homeowners. However, with four new gardeners joining the team, Charlie’s airtime will surely be drastically reduced…
Joining the team for the new series are Diarmuid Gavin, Frances Tophill, Joe Swift and Sue Kent. In a statement, the BBC said “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”.

‘Only one design gets chosen’
The statement continued: “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.”
And, as a result, only one gardener out of the eight who get to do it…
It all helps keep the show fresh as it heads into series 11.
Caroline O’Neill, Assistant Commissioning Editor for BBC Daytime, said: “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.” Caroline also promised “lots of helpful tips and tricks to be mastered at home too”.

‘Summer spruce up’
A source told The Sun: “Garden Rescue is one of BBC Daytime’s most popular slots so it deserved a summer spruce. The new twist means as well as the usual imaginative solutions, gardening hacks and advice, Garden Rescue will be brimming with friendly competitive banter.
“Plus the new experts bring with them new ideas, creativity and flair. It all helps keep the show fresh as it heads into series 11.”
Charlie’s TV future
The news comes after Charlie Dimmock cast doubt over her TV future.
Speaking to her old pal Alan Titchmarsh on Love Your Weekend earlier this year, Charlie was asked if she enjoyed making television shows.
“Yes and no. I don’t know. I do love it but I hate it at the same time,” she said.
“Because it gets in the way of life?” Alan asked her in response.
“It gets in the way of different things,” Charlie then told him. “Stuff like that.”
