Television and radio gardener Daphne Ledward has been sacked for apparently abusing other guests at a Discover Nature gathering at the weekend.
The sixty four year old 'gardening guru', who recovered from uterine cancer in 2007, is believed to have consumed too much wine before verbally attacking other guests because she erroneously thought that someone had shot her five greyhound dogs.
The dogs were in fact locked safely in her car after being retrieved by husband John Hands.
Ledward said: "I made the mistake of having a few glasses of wine. I behaved appallingly and I have apologised to the people concerned and I admit I was at fault."
Daphne Ledward was the first female panellist on Radio 4's Gardeners' Question Time and has worked at BBC Radio Lincoln presenting her gardening show since 1980.
If you wish to meet Daphne for her annual open day then run along between the 8th and 19th July.
