A Loose Women panellist jokingly asked organisers of the Chelsea Flower Show why she's been snubbed from the high society event, in a hilarious Instagram story.
Nadia Sawalha, 59, confessed she's been yearning for an invite to the annual event, organised by the Royal Horticultural Society and in a recent clip on TikTok, she asked: 'Is it because I'm from South London? Is it because I'm a bit common?'
Nadia was invited in 2017 and took along her mother, who she claims hasn't stopped pestering her about going again, but no invitation has been forthcoming since.
The panellist said she was on her best behaviour as she brushed shoulders with the London elite, limiting herself to just one glass of champagne.
She even emphasised that she has a 'nice garden' and includes gardening segments on her family YouTube channel, which is why she's perplexed by organisers' decision.

Laughing, she started the clip with: 'Right, this is a serious question to the Chelsea Flower Show: what have I done to p*** you off?
'I got invited one year, came with my mum, it was lovely I had the cake, I had just one glass of champagne, I took photos, I said "fantastic".
'My mum and my mother-in-law ask me every year whether we can go again and I haven't been able to tell them that whenever I do ask, you always say no!
'I just have to pretend every year that I've forgotten to ask you. What have I actually done?

'Cos I've seen that everyone was actually there today. I've seen them all in all their pretty dresses.
'I've got a garden,a nice garden, we've got a gardening show on our YouTube channel! I do a lot on social media!
'I know I'm a Z-list celebrity and all of that but what have I actually done, who have I p***** off? Is it because I'm from South London?
'Is it because I'm a bit common? What is it?'
This comes after several high profile celebrities, including Nick Knowles, made the cut.
He packed on the PDA with his fiancée Katie Dadzie as they led the stars arriving at Chelsea Flower Show day one on Monday.
The DIY SOS presenter, 61, shared a sweet kiss with the sex toy business owner, 34, as they strolled in the sun at the event held annually in central London.
Nick looked smart in a light blue suit jacket, beige chinos and a white linen shirt for the occasion.
Meanwhile Katie looked summer chic in a flowery midi dress and wedges, while accessorizing with a white leather bag.
