Matt, who grew up in the Durham Dales on his family's sheep farm, will be on stage at the Great Yorkshire Show on Thursday, July 14.

Matt is also a former president of the National Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs.

Matt said: “I've grown up with the Great Yorkshire Show and I’m looking forward to coming back and being a part of the new GYS Stage programme.

"I’ve been to the show many times over the years either filming, or with my family who compete here.

"It’s one of the best agricultural shows there is, with some of the finest animals in the country competing, as well as plenty of entertainment.

"I always recommend it as a terrific day out."
