He rose to prominence as a host of Blue Peter, where he earned the BAFTA for Best Children's Presenter for two consecutive years. His subsequent decade-long tenure on The One Show and his ongoing work on Countryfile have cemented his status as a household name. Raised on a farm in County Durham, he brings authentic expertise to rural and animal-focused broadcasting, including his roles on One Man and His Dog and the annual coverage of Crufts for Channel 4.
