This Talented Wildlife Artist Stunned Alan Titchmarsh On Live TV

On a crisp Sunday morning, something truly magical happened on British television. Wildlife artist and vet Dr. Avneet Cheema made a jaw-dropping appearance on Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh—and it was nothing short of unforgettable.

Broadcast from a picturesque barn in Basingstoke, the segment became an unexpected highlight for viewers across the UK and a proud moment for the UK Artists community. Dr. Avneet Cheema, whose art brings animals to life in the most soulful, spellbinding way, shared not just his intricate wildlife paintings and sculptures—he shared his heart.

“Alan ended up taking to a robin print,” said Dr. Cheema. “I couldn’t help myself—I needed to gift it to him.”

Yes, you read that right. Alan Titchmarsh fell in love with one of Avneet’s robin prints live on air—and the ever-gracious artist gifted it to him on the spot. Talk about a moment of pure TV gold. But the surprises didn’t stop there. The segment revealed a deeper side to Dr. Cheema: a multi-talented soul who balances a life-saving career in veterinary medicine with a flourishing career as an artist. His kingfisher sculpture—praised by Alan for its delicate raindrop detail—left viewers in awe.

“I loved chatting with Alan about my style, process, and love for wildlife. We even talked about my studies and vet work,” Dr. Cheema added. “The whole experience was just surreal—a joyful, kind-hearted team and such a special opportunity to represent UK Artists on national TV.”

This isn’t just an artist to watch; this is an artist redefining what it means to be creative, compassionate, and deeply connected to the natural world. From the fine textures of fur and feathers in his work to his soft-spoken humility, Dr. Cheema left a lasting impression.
