Who is presenting the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2023?

Monty Don

The well-known horticulturalist and Gardeners' World presenter returns once again to host the Chelsea Flower Show this year.

Many will undoubtedly know him for his green fingered tips and insight at the helm of the long-running gardening programme, taking over from Alan Titchmarsh. In 2014, Don became the lead presenter for the BBC's coverage of the Chelsea Flower Show, again replacing Titchmarsh.

He has also had numerous shows of his own including Growing Out of Trouble, Around the World in 80 Gardens, Monty Don's Italian Gardens and The Secret History of the British Garden. Most recently, he has presented Monty Don's Adriatic Gardens, which aired in 2022.

Joe Swift

The English garden designer, journalist and presenter first appeared as one of the main presenters at the Chelsea Flower Show back in 2010. He is a regular on BBC's Gardeners' World and is leading the coverage this year alongside Don and Raworth.

If you're a regular viewer of the flower shows that the UK has to offer, you'll no doubt recognise Swift as the co-presenter of others including Gardeners' World Live, Hampton Court and RHS Tatton Park Flower Show. He has also presented BBC's Small Town Gardens, appeared as a design judge on BBC's Gardener of the Year, and been a presenter and designer on Take 3 Gardeners.

Sophie Raworth

Raworth is a familiar face from behind the news desk and returns once more as the presenter of the Chelsea Flower Show, having done so since 2014. The senior newsreader is one of the main presenters of BBC News and has previously presented Crimewatch, Watchdog and Sunday Morning.

Angellica Bell

The television and radio presenter is part of the Chelsea Flower Show festivities this year having been one of the presenting line-up in previous years.

Perhaps best known for her CBBC presenting from 2000 to 2006 and then as the winner of Celebrity Masterchef in 2017, Bell has presented a variety of shows throughout her career including Ill Gotten Gains, The Martin Lewis Money Show and The Big Family Cooking Showdown.

Nicki Chapman

Chapman is a recognisable face in the world of British TV and radio, having previously been a talent show judge on Pop Idol with Simon Cowell, Pete Waterman and Neil Fox.

But she is perhaps best known for her presenting on well-known travel shows including Wanted Down Under, Escape to the Country as well as fronting the Chelsea Flower Show and becoming a mainstay of the BBC's presenting team for the annual event.

Joe Sugg

The YouTuber, actor and Strictly Come Dancing finalist is joining the line-up for this year's flower show, confirmed to be chatting to Bell about his new passion for gardening.

Sugg is no stranger to the camera or to presenting, having been a guest presenter on The One Show, Countryfile and more recently, appearing on The Great British Menu and The Chase: Celebrity Special.

Gethin Jones

One of the current main presenters on Morning Live alongside Waterloo Road's Kym Marsh, Jones is also part of the line-up for this year's flower show. He has been confirmed to be chatting to the main presenters about his passion for gardening.

Fans will recognise him for his presenting on Blue Peter, appearing on Strictly Come Dancing in 2007 and as a 2020 contestant on Celebrity Masterchef.
