Adam Frost, a seven-time Chelsea Garden Show gold medalist who joined "Gardeners' World" in 2016, recently shared his thoughts on Don's potential retirement from the show. In an interview that resurfaced, Frost expressed a “gut feeling” that multiple co-presenters will replace Don rather than one single person taking over. Bookmaker William Hill lists several contributors as possible replacements, including Arit Anderson at 9/1 and Joe Swift at 12/1 odds.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
