‘Overwhelmed’ Garden Rescue star flooded with support from fans after revealing ‘horrendous start to the year’
A GARDEN Rescue star has opened up on his ‘horrendous start to the year’ in an emotional update to fans.
Lee Burkhill took to social media to update his fans on how he’s been feeling ‘under pressure’ to work and ‘perform’ recently.
His honest post comes as the brand new series of Garden Rescue with Charlie Dimmock landed on the BBC.
Writing on Instagram, the 41-year-old admitted: “I’ve been feeling rather overwhelmed by work and the pressure to ‘perform’ recently. Just saying that makes me feel so much better.
“Also making me think I may also need to limit my screen time more and pull back a bit from things that don’t bring me joy.
“Think after the horrendous start to the year my resilience is running low.”
While being flooded with support from followers, Lee also revealed he received a tarot reading to help refocus himself.
The designer added: “The main card that keeps jumping out at me the last week is the 6 of Wands.
“The true stop and smell the roses card. Celebrate achievements and just bask for a while. So with deadlines looming and a never ending inbox I may be on a go slow this week.”
One fan said: “Definitely need to think about what you need Lee. So easy to get into bad habits and realise too late that things aren’t doing it for you.”
A second wrote: “Never ignore the signs of a burn-out, I did that twice, and that was not a very wise thing.”
“Getting close to overwhelm without realising the damage it does is real. This week especially, because of the new moon, we should remind ourselves that we deserve to be supported and should be open to receiving it,” said a third.
While a fourth commented: “I use the ABC – Acknowledge, Breathe, Consider. You’re working that well here.”
Lee, who calls himself the Garden Ninja, has been a permanent fixture on Garden Rescue since it launched in 2016.
The beloved daytime series sees him, Charlie and a host of other experts battled it out to redesign a hopeful’s garden.
