BBC celebrity gives news about mother's health after she was injured by sheep.

Matt Baker recently shared an update on his mother's health, three years after she suffered a serious injury in a farming accident. The former host of The One Show made the decision to leave the popular BBC show in 2021, in order to spend more time with his family during the Covid-19 lockdowns. Little did he know that he would soon receive a call from his father, Mike, informing him of his mother Janice's 'really nasty accident'.

Matt spoke to The Agency shortly after the incident, revealing that his mother was working in the sheep pen on their farm when she was knocked over by the animals. She was rushed to the hospital and it was discovered that she had severely injured her leg, requiring a knee replacement. Matt, along with his wife Nicola and their two children, Molly and Luke, immediately went to the family's farm in Durham Dales to assist in any way they could. Now, three years later, Matt is giving an update on his mother's recovery.

In an interview with The Sun, he shared that Janice is 'doing really good' and that the accident may have been a 'blessing in disguise'. Despite the difficult circumstances, Matt has gone on to create multiple successful shows, and believes that his mother's accident played a significant role in his career.

Matt, who was previously known as a former One Show presenter, explained, "You know as your parents get older, farming is a really tough job and you just can't keep going at that level. So we reduced the workload and changed the breeds of animals on the farm to make it easier for my mum to manage. She's the main caretaker there." He added that the changes they made have been beneficial, and things are now going great on the farm.

However, the changes to the farm were not the only blessings that came from Janice's accident. When Matt and his family returned to the farm, he was in the process of setting up his production company, More4. This ultimately led to the creation of a show with his parents, titled Our Farm in the Dales. The show followed Matt and his family as they went about their daily tasks on the farm, while also taking care of his young children and helping Janice recover from her surgery.

The show was an instant hit with fans, becoming Channel 4's most successful series that spring when it premiered in April 2021. It even spawned multiple spin-offs, with Matt and his family remaining firm favorites with viewers. Their Christmas special, Our Christmas in the Dales, was the most-watched show across all digital channels on December 25, 2021.

Currently, Matt and his parents are working on the third season of their popular show, Travels with Mum and Dad, which premiered on September 2. The wholesome and family-friendly series follows Matt as he takes his parents on a trip around Northern England, rekindling old memories and making new ones along the way. Fans can catch Matt Baker: Travels with Mum and Dad on Channel 4.
