Garden Rescue star Charlie Dimmock is no stranger to having her love life in the headlines.
The TV presenter, 58, was a tabloid favourite in the 1990s and 2000s due to her fame from Ground Force.
Fan interest in her romances away from the screen peaked following an affair with a telly colleague in 2001.
But despite her private life becoming increasingly public, Charlie hasn’t shied away when subsequently asked about it.
Indeed, she previously revealed her thoughts about relationships and how they might affect her future back in 2014.

Speaking in the Daily Mail, Charlie said at the time she had no plans to get married in the future.
The gardening expert indicated she preferred to prioritise herself – and felt there was “no point” to getting hitched.
Asked about her relationship status, Charlie said: “I’m too old now, certainly too old for marriage, there’s no point.
“I can’t see anything happening when it comes to romance. Somebody would have to really bowl me over.
“I am quite content without a man in my life.”

She explained: “I’m way past marriage at this point. I’m going to be 50 this year.
I am quite content without a man in my life.
“Even sharing a house with someone would be a no for me.”
Charlie added: “I like my own company.”
