When he's not on air Monty is usually in his incredible backyard or walking his gorgeous dogs.

But this week the star took time out of his week to visit a local hospice.

Monty offered his advice to the volunteers at St Michael's Hospice, which is located in Herefordshire.

The facility boasts huge impressive green spaces, so the gardener steered them in the right direction with their plans.

He's been a regular visitor to the hospice over the years.

Its chief executive Mike Keel said: “We’re so grateful for the support and advice Monty has given our volunteer gardeners.

"He’s played a huge part in helping our grounds look as beautiful as they do.

“Just as important are our dedicated team of volunteer gardeners who give up their time throughout the year, helping our grounds look so welcoming to patients, their loved ones, hospice volunteers and staff.”

Monty recently shared an update with fans about his beloved furry friends.

He has three dogs that he shares with his wife, two golden retrievers called Ned and Nell, and a Yorkshire Terrier named Patti.

He got Nell - aka Nellie - a year ago, after the sad passing of another golden Retriever named Nigel in 2020.

Monty celebrated the pup's first birthday with adorable snaps on social media.
