In town for the Chelsea Flower Show , Alan Titchmarsh is staying at the five star Wyndham Grand Hotel in the convenient Chelsea Harbour location only moments away from the show. The hotel, which is currently undergoing a dramatic refurbishment to offer guests the ultimate five star experience, is the perfect stop-over for those in town for the famous flower show.
Now, here's a question, which I've put to the PR, and I shall report back with the answer: has Titchmarsh got a free room or reduced rate in exchange for using his name? In which case, is he not paid enough to present whatever he now presents? Or might the hotel suffer more in the long run from the fact they give away their guests identities, than they'll benefit grand hotel biloxi from the world at large knowing Mr T has laid his head upon one of their five-star pillows?
The obvious people to ask are Thames Water, who have just announced a hosepipe and sprinkler ban on their eight million customers from April 3. But they are unsympathetic. "Alan Titchmarsh says it doesn't matter if your garden goes brown, it will soon perk up when it rains," says a spokeswoman.
