Dimmock: 'I'm too old to be sex symbol'

Charlie Dimmock has said that it is ridiculous people still refer to her as a sex symbol because she's "too old".

The former Ground Force presenter laughed at the suggestion that she might still be popular with male TV viewers because of her looks.

When asked about her sex symbol status, Dimmock told DS: "That's just silly. It's very silly. I'm too old now. I just raise my eyes when anyone says it now!"

She also revealed that she is hoping her new TV show River Walks with Charlie Dimmock will inspire the nation to rediscover the countryside.

The presenter said: "I think we often forget how beautiful our countryside is. There are footpaths open to us, but sometimes people don't know what is open to them. There are beautiful, beautiful walks out there.

"I just think that it's a terrible shame that people don't know what walks there are out there and what they're missing out on."
