Monty regularly takes to social media to update his adoring fans and show off his spectacular garden.
But in a change from his usual posts, Monty shared a behind-the-scenes snap of his dressing room as he prepared for a gig.
He told his 1.3 million fans: “The latest in my glamour dressing series: getting ready for tonight’s show at Kew the Music (bring wellies, waterproofs and umbrellas).”
But Monty’s fans flooded the star with support, commenting on the “soulless” space where there was no cake or flowers in sight.
One fan said: “They couldn’t have made this more miserable if they tried, especially since it’s your birthday. It’ll take a lot of gin to make this appealing, what a disappointment.”
A second posted: “I hope you can celebrate your birthday after the show. That doesn’t look very inviting.”
“A bit soulless? Monty is power,” said a third concerned follower.
While a fourth wrote: “No cake in sight? Happy birthday Monty!”
Meanwhile, Monty was recently inundated with support after sharing another touching message.
The BBC personality shared a touching image of himself with his beloved dogs Nell and Ned on Instagram.
It comes after Monty announced that the golden retriever had sadly passed away last year.
