In which case I'm pleased my youngest granddaughter gave it up for dancing after a few lessons, even if she was going to the same gym as Matt Baker.
Lots of medal winners from that gym.

Yes; I think it was due to gymnastics [the S.O. will know; he's the one who told me about it]. Think Gaby Logan [another excellent presenter imo] has similar problems due to gymnastics, which reinforces my view that it's best to be a couch potato and stops me feeling guilty about not going to the gym...

Judging by the state of DD's back I should think his back trouble is definitely due to his gymnastics. He's really good commentating on Gymnastics and he has Border Collies - what more do you want?

He's grown up....at last!

Found him insufferably childish in his early days on Countryfile especially with Julia Bradbury but he's much better now.

I wonder if that is a result of his gymnastics, Tegan.
He went to the club in the next village from here.
Of course, it could be all that farming he does in his time off.

Sorry, I can’t stand the man. He’s absolutely everywhere.

Yes; he's the sort of tv presenter that is easy to overlook as he does what he does so seamlessly. Think he suffers from a really bad back if my memory is correct#totallyuselessbitofinformationthat

I agree!

I've always thought he'd be good SIL material. Seems like a nice chap. ( I thought that before I heard how much he was paid!)

Just watched him supporting the rickshaw riders for Children in Need and admired how compassionate and hands on he is,as he is every year. Just like his genuine style
