CELEBRITY gardener Monty Don was set to return to a Blackburn family's garden - to put right the mess his workmen made while building a pond for the "This Morning" show.

Householder Karen Reilly said the programme failed to show her and 11-year-old daughter Vikki having to rescue fish which were unsuitable for an outdoor pond.

A Granada TV spokeswoman said Monty would return in person as soon as possible.
