Adam Frost Jokingly Crowns Monty Don with a Playful Nickname
So, if you’re a fan of Gardeners’ World , here’s a little nugget that’ll give you a smile. Adam Frost, who’s been a regular face on the show for years now, has shared a cheeky little behind-the-scenes moment involving none other than Monty Don. Yes, Monty—the beloved lead presenter who’s been guiding viewers through gardens big and small since he took over from Alan Titchmarsh back in 2003.

In a recent interview, Adam revealed that he jokingly refers to Monty Don as “His Lordship.” It was all in good fun, of course. The nickname came up during a chat with Helen Nugent, the editor of Northern Soul , who mentioned that she likes to call Monty “Sir Monty of Don” in her articles. That prompted Adam to share his own version of affectionate teasing, saying Monty’s got a bit of a “posh” air about him. His exact words? “The great British public get a little bit of posh and a little bit of rough”—with Monty clearly cast as the “posh” part of the duo.
This kind of gentle ribbing isn’t surprising if you know the show’s vibe. It’s not just about gardening—it’s about the people, their quirks, and that very British sense of humour. Adam himself has become a familiar presence on the programme, sharing his expertise and winning gold at the Chelsea Flower Show more than once. He’s part of a cast that includes other horticultural favourites like Carol Klein, Frances Tophill, and Nick Bailey.
But the fun didn’t stop there. In another recent interview, this time with Round and About Magazine , Adam opened up a bit about his home life. He talked about how his wife, Sulina—whom he affectionately called “a bit controlling”—often complains about how messy he is. He even compared their dynamic to that of his grandparents, who he nicknamed “Tidy Nan” and “Scruffy Nan.” And if you’re wondering which one he takes after? Well, according to Adam, he’s “a bit of both,” but Sulina might say he leans more toward “Scruffy Nan.”
They’ve got four kids—Abi-Jade, Jacob, Amber-Lily, and Oakley—and apparently, the tidiness gene hasn’t landed evenly across the board. Adam says some of the kids are neat, others not so much.
All in all, it’s a charming little glimpse into the personalities behind the potting bench. And if you tune in to Gardeners’ World , chances are you’ll spot that playful chemistry between “His Lordship” and his down-to-earth co-star. Catch them tonight on BBC Two at 8pm.
