Matt and his animal-loving family appeared on the Channel 4 show Matt Baker: Our Farm In The Dales to reveal their life on the farm.
Leaving his life in London behind, he moved back to his family farm in the Yorkshire Dales in 2021 after his mother Janice had an accident while working on her farm.
He decided to take over the farm with his family and the Channel 4 show documented his journey.
At one point during the show’s three series, Matt fought back tears when he was able to fix one of his dad’s cars that was special to him.
Hearing the engine roar, the TV presenter said, “I tell you what, that brings me back. Even that engine. That touched my heart.’
