BBC NEWS | Entertainment | TV gardener Monty Don has stroke

I will miss his laid back delivery.

He's relatively young to have had a stroke. Very best wishes to him for a complete and speedy recovery.

I don't watch Gardener's World but hope he is soon better.

[bridget mc laughlin]

Hope he gets well soon I love him

What awful news. Hope you feel better soon Monty, and back on our TV screens as soon as you feel fit and able. Bernie aka DDL

[Pootle]

That's sad.

Although I've never been a huge fan (my heart belongs to Alan) I do hope he has a full and speedy recovery.

Get well soon Monty!

Good old Monty, bless him, hope he gets better soon, i can give him a place to stay if he needs it, he can advise me from a lounger in the garden.

Shame, I found Monty to be lovely, totally diferent to Alan, but it was good to see his relaxed style and understated enthusaism, I will miss him! Get well soon Monty, and all the best from us for a speedy recovery!

So, who's going to fill his shoes now then?

OMG - Thats shocked me.

I have missed him on Gardeners World - only really watched it in the last few years so can not compare him to others.

Hope he recovers soon and we see him very soon. Seen him a few times at the Gardeners World show and he has a lot of knowledge he just loves to share.

Wonder who will take over?

Oh! That is sad news. Get well soon Monty love.

[Mikey]

Heres hoping its not serious, I like monty, more so than Alan who I'm watching at the mo. GW is but half as good without him.

[HeyWayne]

Get well soon dude - I love Monty's laid back, understated, cool approach. We need a few more people like him on this planet. Speedy recovery big guy!

[kirsty b]

I'll add my wishes for a speedy recovery for Monty. Really liked watching Gardeners World with him. I'd listen to that voice reading a shopping list!!

[Arachne]

Oh dear - here's hoping for a swift recovery for him.
