Alan Titchmarsh's wife worried about his TV workload as he'd 'rather wear out than rust'

Speaking to the publication, Alan said: “I keep saying that I need to slow down and try to be better at saying no, but I’d rather wear out than rust.

“My wife worries a bit that I do too much,” he candidly added.

Trying to balance his work and home life better, the television host and author said he implemented a new “rule”.

“I now have a rule that I’ll only spend one night away from home because I like being with my family too much,” he said.
