Matt Baker has received the sincere support of fans, having spoken out at out his family's devastating loss, with the death of their oldest dog.
County Durham born star Matt has been a TV regular for decades now, getting his first taste of fame as a member of the Blue Peter presenting team, before going onto be a regular host on The One Show and reaching the final of Strictly Come Dancing.
BBC viewers and his One Show partner in crime Alex Jones were left gutted when Matt walked away from the long-running show a few years ago, before him and his family earned a whole new fanbase, thanks to their hit More4 programme Our Farm in the Dales, which has spawned a number of series and Christmas specials to date.
