The TV star is known for his therapy and meditation work, but did you know he almost gave it all up to become a Buddhist monk?
October 12, 2021 - 14:49 BST Eve Crosbie Alistair Appleton is a much-loved member of the Escape to the Country family, but did you know he almost gave it all up at one point? The TV star, who has presented the popular BBC daytime show since 2007, spoke to HELLO!, and revealed the surprising path he almost pursued after falling out of love with television presenting in his younger years.
"When I came back to the UK, I worked like crazy for ten years, doing lots and lots of TV. And then I suddenly got bored of it and frustrated with it because it was exhausting. I think I'm quite sensitive and it was hard to tolerate," he continued."So I said: 'I'm going to give it all up, I'm going to become a monk!'
He kept busy in lockdown, offering his followers free online course in meditation along with his husband, Daniel who is a yoga teacher. In one post on the website, he wrote:"My husband Daniel, a yoga teacher and I are offering free meditation and yoga to keep us grounded and happy during these extraordinary times. All welcome."As for his television career, fans needn't fear as it seems that Alistair is not bowing out of Escape to the Country anytime soon.
