Sharing a sweet picture of him cradling the gorgeous Golden Retriever on Instagram, he wrote the caption: "On a day when we are sharing a deep sense of sadness and loss, I went to choose the new bright innocent and irresistibly charming member of our family, replacing Nigel. He will be joining us next week. I haven't told Nellie or Patti yet…"
Fans were quick to react to the joyous news in the comments section, which came just a day after it was announced that Queen Elizabeth II had passed away.

A third fan commented: "Oh we need some good news today and this, very definitely, is it."
Another viewer of the popular BBC gardening show took to Twitter to guess the name of the new pup, writing: "Gorgeous! Nelson? Noah? Assuming it's a boy and the N initial is still relevant. That pup has no idea what a fabulous life it has ahead!"
Monty was quick to respond, tweeting: "You are in the right area. The jury is still out but an 'N' will certainly feature...."
The new addition to the family comes two years after the 67-year-old's beloved dog Nigel sadly passed away after suddenly falling ill. Paying tribute to his "old friend" on social media following his death, Monty revealed that Nigel was "happy, healthy and his usual calm, lovely self" right up until the end.
