Two Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh guests have revealed what really goes on behind the scenes on the ITV show. Filmed in a barn setting in rural Hampshire, the series sees the gardener celebrate British countryside life with weekly guests, who have included Strictly Come Dancing star Sarah Hadland, as well as comedian Tom Allen.
Discussing their separate experiences on the show, the pair both revealed they were offered plenty of alcohol off-camera.
Speaking together on Pottering with Tom Allen, Sarah said: "I quite like Alan Titchmarsh," to which Tom asked if she had been on his ITV show.
Confirming that she had appeared twice, she added: "I love it."
"You go to this barn near Guilford and get p****d," Tom went on to reveal. Reflecting on her experience, Sarah recalled drinking "a lot of rum" during her time on the show.
"Yeah, they get you really smashed," Tom added. Sharing her thoughts on the legendary host, the Strictly star described Alan as "lovely [and] very personable".
"Very personable," Tom agreed. "And the people who own the barn [were] very nice."
Discussing a moment that appeared to take her by surprise, Sarah recalled getting ready in the owner's daughter's bedroom, to which the comedian confessed he had done exactly the same.
"I think she moved out a long time ago," he added. "I was there like, 'Her eyeliner is magnificent', she laughed. "The whole feel of it is very chilled."
He told us exclusively: "Alan Titchmarsh was great. He came and interviewed us part way through while we were out in the caravan site [as the transformation took place]. Yeah, no complaints at all."
Rob continued to explain that while they still appreciate their garden, he's implemented a few minor modifications in recent years.
"The shed, that's now my art studio, I took up painting so I sit in there and do my painting," he disclosed. "It is the same, the only thing we took down was a tree that was in front of our kitchen window that was blocking out the view a bit and the light."
Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh airs today at 9.30am on ITV and ITVX
