However, the garden looked a far cry from its usual pristine state, which Monty has spent the last 30 years transforming into his own personal haven. The 66-year-old's caption for the photos read: "Emergency work on the drains today - brilliantly done with minimum garden damage by superb team."
Fans were quick to react to the post. Taking to the comment section, one wrote: "Sorry to hear that you've had plumbing problems! Hope it is resolved asap!" while another offered their sympathy: "These things have to be dealt with." A third added: "Such a beautiful garden... even with the path partially lifted!"
