Best known for presenting The One Show, Countryfile and Blue Peter, Matt has built a reputation for his versatility, warmth and ability to connect with audiences across entertainment, sport and factual programming.

Born and raised on his family’s sheep farm in County Durham, Matt’s passion for the countryside and animals naturally led him to become one of the main presenters of BBC One’s Countryfile.

Matt first rose to national prominence as the 28th presenter of Blue Peter, where he spent more than seven years and won two consecutive BAFTA awards for Best Children’s Presenter, alongside a Royal Television Society Award. Following his departure from the programme, he joined The One Show, where he co-hosted the flagship BBC magazine show for almost a decade.

Alongside his entertainment and factual work, Matt has a strong sporting background. A former British gymnastics and sports acrobatics champion, he began his broadcasting career covering gymnastics for BBC Sport and has since commentated on Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games and World Championship events.
