Garden Rescue star Charlie Dimmock on affair

Charlie made her telly breakthrough on Ground Force in the late 1990s. But in 2001, Charlie made headlines following an affair with a co-worker.

She said the fling with Andy Simmons – a microphone operator on Ground Force – brought her 13-year relationship with John Mushet to an end.

In 2002, Charlie told the Daily Mail: “I don’t see Andy any more, but I don’t regret what happened. You wouldn’t do anything if you kept worrying about what might go wrong.

“John and I had been together for a long time so when we split up I relied heavily on family and close friends. I’ve discovered that the most difficult after effect of the break-up is getting into another relationship.”

Why Charlie Dimmock won’t marry

Elsewhere, Charlie has previously spoken about why she’ll never get married.

Speaking to the Daily Mail on 2014, Charlie said she felt “too old” for marriage. She 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 added: “I’m quite happy as I am with my cat, my dog and my horse. They’re all the company I need. I think that if I did meet someone I’d prefer a partnership to marriage. That’s terrible isn’t it? Very selfish, that’s what they say, isn’t it? But I like being able to do what I want.”
