Matthew James Baker is an English television presenter who co-hosts the Monday-Thursday editions of BBC One's The One Show and co-presents Countryfile on the same channel.

Matt, has revealed he was bullied as a kid because of an early passion for gymnastics.

'I was known as Jim-spastic for most of my childhood,' says the Countryfile star.

'Gymnastics was my life. But it was a very easy thing for people to take the mick out of.'


'I started gymnastics because I saw some people doing moves on the television and thought, "I'd love to do that",' he tells Weekend magazine.
