Matt Baker: ‘It’s hard not to’ Countryfile presenter shares ‘naughtiest’ off-camera moment

Countryfile star Matt Baker, 41, was asked about his naughty antics, at which point he first replied: “Oh, I don’t know.” The presenter was then asked if his naughtiest moment could’ve been running through a wheat field, in reference to Theresa May’s previous revelation. “It’s hard not to run through a wheat field where I’m from,” he replied in an interview with I News. During the same chat, he revealed why he had moved to the countryside.

He added: “I don’t like to be pushed along. I like nature to set my tempo.”

In a different interview, The One Show host, who tied the knot with his wife Nicola Mooney in 2004, spoke out on what makes him “fed up”.

In an interview with the Radio Times in 2011, Matt said he used to get annoyed when headlines suggested he was up to something “clandestine” with female co-stars.

He revealed: “I get a bit fed up when I’m photographed with one of them having a coffee and the headline is that I’m doing something clandestine when I’m really not!”

But insisting he doesn’t let the negative stories bother him, he added: “I used to find it upsetting, but I’ve got used to it now.”

Matt and Nicola, who is a trained physiotherapist, have two children together: a daughter named Molly and a son called Luke.

Within the same chat, he gushed over his spouse and praised her for her patience.

He added: “I have a very patient wife. Nicola is very supportive and understanding.

“She is everything to me. I couldn’t have done any of this without her.”

Matt went on to say his wife was an “fantastic mother,” adding: “I really owe her so much.”

Elsewhere, for the next few months Matt will be presenting The One Show without his sidekick Alex Jones, 42.

The latter is currently pregnant with her second child with husband Charlie Thomson and is now officially on maternity leave.

During their last episode together for a while last night, Matt admitted it will be “odd” without the Welsh presenter.

Alex replied: “It’ll go quick, I’ll be back in the Autumn. Keep my seat warm.”

Matt added: “Yeah I know, well it goes without saying, I’m going to miss you.”

Countryfile continues tonight at 6pm on BBC One.

The One Show airs weekdays at 7pm on BBC One.
