FURIOUS Garden Rescue fans were forced to switch off after the popular BBC programme was replaced without any warning.
The show, which sees stunning gardens from around the country showcased, was brushed aside by an exclusive BBC interview on Tuesday afternoon – and it hasn’t gone down well with some.
Ahead of its usual afternoon slot, green-fingered enthusiasts were no doubt ready in front of their screens with a cuppa and ready for the latest episode.
Those that tuned in for their favourite show, however, were rudely interrupted by a world exclusive interview with tennis star Novak Djokovic.
Speaking to the broadcaster, the 34-year-old revealed that missing competitions – such as the upcoming French Open – over his jab status was “the price that I’m willing to pay”.
For Garden Rescue fans, though, they were already having to pay the price of not being able to watch their show in its allocated slot – and they certainly didn’t hold back on social media.
Taking to Twitter, one fan fumed: “Why are we watching Novak Djokovic being interviewed about him having a Covid jab? Who cares? I’m missing Garden Rescue over here.”
Echoing their comments, someone else said: “Switch channels for Garden Rescue and find an entitled and narcissistic waste of space given a platform to justify being an entitled and narcissistic waste of space.”
While a third added: “I really don’t care what Novak Djokovic has done. Why doesn’t he spill this on a TV programme in his own home country?”
The 20-time Grand Slam winner was deported from Australia last month after the government cancelled his visa in a row over his vaccine status.
The Serbian national described the conditions while he was detained as “very hard”.
He added how he had not spoken out in the media at the time – despite wanting to – as he wanted to respect the legal process and the Australian Open.
The world’s number one men’s tennis player also said he should be associated with the anti-vax movement, but supported an individual’s right to choose.
