The post comes over two months after Matt left his position on The One Show after fronting the series for nine years alongside Alex Jones. The Countryfile presenter lives in Hertfordshire with his wife Nicola Mooney and their children Luke, 12, and Molly, ten. Running the farm is a family affair, with Matt's two children getting stuck in with the daily chores. The star previously wrote a day in the life diary for Countryfile's website, and detailed some of the activities his kids enjoy doing, such as numbering the sheep with a can of spray paint, and feeding the animals.
