Charlie's the darling of show
By Southport Visiter
FLAME-haired TV gardener Charlie Dimmock is among a red hot line up of famous faces igniting interest in the first North West Home and Gardens Show to be staged at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, on the weekend of May 17 and 18.
A great hit when she visited Southport Flower Show in 2004, Charlie is looking forward to doing the live show in Liverpool with plenty of opportunity to chat with visitors about their gardens.
Her life took an amazing turn when she shot to fame in the BBC hit Ground Force, working with Alan Titchmarsh, and landscape whizz Tommy Walsh.
She said: "It was completely unexpected. I'd always been a keen gardener, but I never imagined myself on TV."
Other TV series followed, plus a collection of gardening books.
Today, Charlie still lives in Hampshire where she works on her own garden in her spare time.
Workwise, she's as busy as ever touring garden shows, doing talks, supporting environmental campaigns, helping with a landscaping project in Portugal and presenting UKTV series River Walks.
Other celebrities attending the Homes and Garden Show include TV chef Jean Christophe Novelli, Big Brother and DIY series star, Craig Phillips and fashion presenter and stylist Hannah Sandling.
Advance tickets are £4, OAP tickets are £3 in advance.
