Fans of Ground Force stars and Charlie Dimmock are in for some good and bad news this weekend.
To start with the good, many will be happy to see them back on screens together again, as part of a repeated episode of Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh.
Unfortunately, however, it may be their last sighting together for a while, Reach PLC can exclusively reveal.
A representative for Alan has confirmed that despite ongoing hopes for a reunion, there are no plans for Alan and Charlie to work together in 2025.
The pair formed an iconic trio alongside Tommy Walsh on Ground Force, which aired from 1997 to 2005.

While brief reunions have happened along the way, the television show has not reprised.
Garden Rescue star Charlie has voiced contradictory responses when quizzed about a reunion in the past.
She has previously said that while she and her ex co-stars are still friends, she wasn’t keen on reprising Ground Force.
According to Hello Magazine, she said: “It’s all about baking these days on TV. But if they did bring back Ground Force it wouldn’t be with me and Tommy doing it – we’re all too old!”.
Three years later, she said “never say never” when asked again by The Daily Express.

Additionally in 2020, she told the World of Cruising magazine: “I haven’t seen them recently, but we’re still in contact. Occasionally we chat or bump into each other.
“Tommy teases me that we’re getting old now, which is true, but we have loads of happy memories of filming lots and lots of laughter.”
During their time on the show, Charlie often distracted viewers from gardening with her famous braless look.
20 years on from the programme ending, the presenter said fans still brought it up.
“It is very silly,” she told The Independent in 2016. “It was always just for comfort. If you’re swinging a sledgehammer, you want to be comfortable! People say, ‘Why don’t you wear a sports bra?’ But those are not the comfiest things in the world.”
Alan has previously made a joke about his co-star’s look, in his poem titled My Story.
He wrote: “When I was one and fifty (When most men buy their Harleys), I wrote novels – long – and got my gong and dodged those boobs of Charlie’s.”
Addressing his words, he told Express.co.uk at the time: “She’s a good friend – she’ll take it on the chin!
“For the men who used to watch Ground Force, the viewing figures went up when it rained.
“The great thing about Charlie is that what you see is what you get, literally! She’s down to earth and lovely.”
Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh airs today at 9.30am on ITV and ITVX.
