Alan Titchmarsh claimed that the Queen once complimented him on giving “a lot of ladies a lot of pleasure”.

And according to Alan, when she gave him the accolade she made a nice remark about his charm.

Staff at Madame Tussauds London can also confirm that Alan is a hit with the ladies – thanks to the number of lipstick kisses left on his waxwork.
It has been reported that so many people pucker up to plant one on his wax likeness that it gets pretty dirty. To combat the issue it has to be washed at least twice a week.
The TV star confirmed the rumours when he was on Good Morning Britain.
But he joked that his statue actually got so many smooches because fans mistook it for someone else’s.
“I was standing next to Brad Pitt and I think it was just confused identity or they could not get next to him so they went for me,” he quipped.
In another interview, Alan said that his wife Alison was also pretty amused by the fact that his waxwork gets so many kisses.
He told the Mirror: “Alison treats it with great amusement and a raised eyebrow.
“I have always thought it’s a great big joke and the minute I take it seriously someone will say ‘Come off it, we were only kidding!'”
How long have Alan and Alison been married?
