THE future of a popular Channel 4 show fronted by Matt Baker has been unveiled.
Countryfile presenter Matt, 46, has hosted Matt Baker: Travels with Mum & Dad since 2022.
The beloved programme is returning for a third outing – and fans don’t have long to wait.
New episodes will be available to watch or stream from 9pm on Monday, September 2 on More 4.
The format sees Matt, his mum Janice and dad Mike take on journeys across the North of England.
They have visited locations including The Lake District, Durham Cathedral and Bamburgh Castle.
Matt said: “These travels are real treasures, it’s such a treat for me to be able to head off and explore with my parents, we have such a laugh!
“But if taking my folks and a caravan out and about isn’t challenging enough, this time we’re taking a puppy along for the ride!
“All of these the trips are planned around what I think my parents are going love and I’m proud to say we haven’t picked a duff one yet.
“I feel very lucky to be able to make new memories with them, making the most of the time we have together, all whilst celebrating the wonderful North of England.”
It comes as Matt previously revealed the aftermath of experiencing a freak accident while on stage.
During rehearsals for a panto last December, the former One Show presenter suffered a fall which left him in debilitating pain.
In April, Matt revealed how he was unable to bend over following his injury.
Speaking to Gabby Logan on the Mid Point podcast, he shared: “I’ve injured my back.
“I can’t tell you how upsetting it is as an ex-gymnast, not to be able to bend forward.”
Matt added: “I did my back in. I was doing a panto.
“I was doing Goldilocks and the Three Bears and we were practising with the stunt chairs, and the chair wasn’t set correctly and bang!
Agricultural programme Countryfile launched on the BBC in 1988. In its long history, the show's seen several presenters come and go. Let's take a look at the current line-up.
“I went down on my coccyx and it turns out I slipped a disc in my back.”
This puts pressure on nerve endings and spinal cords, which can be very painful.
Matt’s other work with Channel 4 includes Our Dream Farm, which launched in April.
Matt Baker: Travels with Mum & Dad will be available to watch or stream from 9pm on Monday, September 2 on More 4.
