Countryfile star Matt Baker has been a mainstay on our screens for the past three decades, but recently the presenter has been dividing fans for his comments.
Countryfile presenter Matt Baker sparked a social media frenzy with his comments about Olympic gymnast Simone Biles.
Baker then paused the coverage to address the audience, relaying Simone's concerns about the tense atmosphere in the arena: "She's talking about the atmosphere, she's talking about people shushing - we've talked about it and the atmosphere in here is like a cauldron when those gymnasts are on." One angry viewer tweeted: "#BBCOlympics gymnastic commentators losing their s**t about Simone Biles having cameras thrust in her face after she fell off the beam is ridiculously ironic seeing as they have basically made the entire Olympics about her and screamed like groupies at every single move she's made."
Meanwhile, Matt has recently opened up about his back injury. The former gymnast previously admitted: "No, I can't now. I've injured my back. This is midlife - talking about your aches and pains!".
