Nigel sadly passed away in 2020 after suddenly falling ill. “To the end he was happy, healthy and his usual calm, lovely self,” the presenter wrote on Instagram at the time. 

“He slipped quietly away with no pain or suffering and is now buried in the garden with lots of tennis balls.”

Ned is the most recent addition to Monty’s Herefordshire home, having joined the family in September last year. 

The trio often join Monty while he works away in his Longmeadow garden. Opening up about his lifelong love for dogs, he wrote on his website: “I have lived with dogs all my life and so it is absolutely natural to me that wherever I am in the garden I should be accompanied by a dog or two. It is their garden as much as mine or any other members of the family.”

Describing how well-behaved his pooches are, he added: “Something that I take for granted is that, by and large, they do absolutely no damage and respect the garden completely. They (rarely) dig holes or crash through the flower beds. They do treat the long paths as bowling alleys down which they career in chase of the ball that we are obliged to throw, but it is harmless enough.”
