Next Gardners’ World Presenter Odds: Ensemble slashed to 9/4 to replace Monty Don

Bookmaker William Hill has slashed the odds on Gardeners’ World continuing without a single lead presenter.

The price for an ensemble of presenters has shortened significantly, moving from 5/1 to 9/4 ahead of Monty Don’s final episode this week.

Frances Tophill remains the favourite to take over as the show’s next host, although her odds have drifted slightly from 13/8 to 7/4.

Fellow presenter Adam Frost remains unchanged at 2/1, keeping him firmly in contention to succeed Don.

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “With Monty Don’s final episode of Gardeners’ World approaching, speculation is growing over who will take over from the much-loved presenter.

“Frances Tophill remains the frontrunner at 7/4, with Adam Frost holding steady at 2/1. However, the big move has been for the show to continue without one main presenter, with an ensemble format now as short as 9/4 from 5/1, following comments from Frost suggesting that is the format he envisages when Don hangs up his trowel.

“It could be the end of an era for Gardeners’ World, but the latest odds suggest the BBC may look to share the presenting duties rather than appoint one direct successor.”
