Pyrah was in the news during the 2004 Chelsea Flower Show after an incident between garden designer and television presenter Diarmuid Gavin and the contestant in the neighbouring garden, ''Gardeners' Question Time'' panellist Bunny Guinness. According to press reports it was Pyrah's questions to Gavin about the cost of his garden and whether it was connected to commitment to getting a gold medal that led to his storming off from a live interview.<ref>{{cite news |first=Charles |last=Clover |title= Border clashes at Chelsea Flower Show |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/05/22/nbloom22.xml&sSheet=/news/2004/05/22/ixhome.html |work=The Daily Telegraph |date=2004-05-22 |accessdate=2008-02-19 }}{{dead link|date=July 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>
