A celebrity from Channel 5 shares that he experienced a terrifying incident where he was held at gunpoint.

Matt Smith, a beloved star of the popular show The Yorkshire Vet, recently shared a harrowing experience he had before joining the show. In his younger years, Matt was working at a video rental shop called Blockbuster when he found himself caught up in a robbery.

Matt recalled the intense fear he felt as two robbers barged into the shop and pointed a gun at his face. In that moment, everything seemed to slow down for Matt as he endured the terrifying ordeal. He described it as a surreal experience that left him physically unharmed but mentally shaken.

As the robbers tried to steal cash from the tills, a larger customer entered the shop and the robbers quickly fled. Though Matt was grateful to be safe, the incident had a lasting impact on him. He remembers shaking even after the police arrived, and only then did he remember that there was a panic button he could have pressed during the robbery.

After this traumatizing event, Matt went on to pursue his dream of becoming a vet. He joined the cast of The Yorkshire Vet in 2020 and has been a beloved member of the show ever since. The docuseries follows veterinarians as they care for animals in need at their practices in North Yorkshire.

Despite the scary experience at Blockbuster, Matt has remained dedicated to his work as a vet and has even written a book about his experiences called My Life as a Yorkshire Vet. He and his wife Katherine also recently welcomed a baby daughter named Anastasia.

In addition to his work on The Yorkshire Vet, Matt has also appeared in spin-off specials and other Channel 5 shows. This year, the show was nominated for a prestigious award in the factual entertainment category, though it ultimately lost to Jeremy Clarkson's Amazon Prime Video series.
