Rise to Fame
Daisy previously discussed her unexpected journey to television fame in an interview with House Beautiful magazine. She recounted: “Six years ago, I bought my first house, an idyllic Grade II-listed cottage in the Cotswolds. And although I was a complete gardening novice, I thought it would be fun to blog and create tutorials called Garden to Garnish on YouTube.”
As her gardening skills and online presence grew, so did her opportunities. She explained: “As my allotment and overgrown kitchen garden began to take shape, my Instagram following grew and a new, and rather unexpected, career took off.”
Transition to Television
Reflecting on her breakthrough, Daisy added: “Then in 2020, out of the blue I got a call from an ITV executive who had seen my Instagram reels and, almost overnight, I became This Morning’s resident gardener. I love working with the team — it’s such a dream role, which I juggle with my brand marketing job and creating content.”
This announcement marks a significant personal milestone for Daisy Payne, blending her professional success with the excitement of impending motherhood. Her story continues to inspire fans who have followed her from digital tutorials to national television.
