In a Radio Times piece earlier this year, he said: "In a stark piece for Radio Times he said: "The logical thing to do is to give up Gardener's World."
He later backpedalled and told The Times: "I was naive," saying he'd made the comments "at the end of a long year".
He added: "I was tired and thought it would be nice to have a rest, but I was naive to say that.
"I can categorically say without any equivocation that I'm very happy to do it for another three years."
