Charlie Dimmock reveals VERY rude nickname given to her by Garden Rescue team
CHARLIE Dimmock has revealed her VERY rude nickname that was given to her by her colleagues on Garden Rescue.
The TV presenter first rose to fame when she was part of the hit BBC show, Ground Force in 1997.
Charlie, 56, starred in the hit series alongside fellow gardening legend Alan Titchmarsh, 74 until 2005.
On the show she was a hit with viewers as she was known for going braless as she worked on the innovative garden programme.
Although she has grown older, her pin-up status remained with the crew of her show Garden Rescue.
In a recently resurfaced interview from 2016, Charlie confirmed to Radio Times that her nickname on the set was ‘Horticultural Viagra’.
The saucy moniker was given to her due to her refusal to wear a bra underneath her trademark vests.
However, the nature star also admitted that she thought all the talk around her braless TV days was “so silly” as it happened such a “long time ago.”
In another resurfaced interview with the guardian she said: “All the fuss about me not wearing a bra is funny.
“I was never one of the girls that boys went out with. I never was. So to suddenly be sexy is ridiculous, really.”
She added: “Yeah, it is projected, and that’s what’s silly about it.
“You have never been sexy before and it’s not like you’re Caprice or someone stunningly good-looking.”
