Adam Frost left home at 16 after parents became swingers, says Gardeners' World presenter

Growing up in a unique environment

GARDENERS’ World presenter Adam Frost has revealed that he left home at 16 because his parents became swingers. The 55-year-old BBC host said his parents moved into a village where "they were all swapping couples".

Early gardening career

Frost, who has won seven gold medals at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, landed his first gardening job soon after. He shared, "I left home. Got a bedsit, and was lucky enough to get a job on a parks department. And it was a real old parks department, so we did everything, we grew 200,000 bedding plants, you know. Sites of special interest, Victorian parks, you even had to dig a grave."

Battling health issues

In October, Adam revealed he had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. He explained he'd experienced 'throbbing' pain for two decades before doctors were able to diagnose him.
