Television presenter Matt Baker has been gracing our screens for more than two decades and has been the co-presenter of BBC One’s Countryfile since 2009.
Some may even remember Matt for his first presenting role for Blue Peter or his successful stint on Strictly, where he became a runner-up.
With such an extensive career, we delve into his life and how he’s earned a fortune from his work.
Matt was diagnosed with anemia
Before dreams of becoming a television presenter, Matt, born in Easington, County Durham, took an interest in dance and competed as a gymnast while in school.
However, his days of being a gymnast were soon over when he was diagnosed with anemia, a condition caused by a lack of iron and results in dizziness, at age 14.
Due to it being unsafe, Matt was forced to stop.
However, since becoming an adult, Matt has returned to gymnastics, stating it is a great “stress reliever”.
