COUNTRYFILE’S Matt Baker has apologised to fans after a running with dogs challenge totally backfired.
In a recent episode of the popular BBC programme, the 43-year-old presenter said he wanted to find a new, fun outdoor exercise.
He decided to give Canicross a go, which is cross country running with dogs, who lead and you follow while tethered to the pooch.
Matt was attached to a fast Hungarian Vizsla dog, and he called out “this is quick!” as he tried to keep up with the animal as he ran along in the woodland.
Later on, he went for another run, but this time with a more experienced dog, an expert and her pooch.
Following the episode, Matt shared a number of clips of dogs who got a little too excited by the segment on his Instagram.
Dog owners across the country had tagged Matt in their canine videos, with one up close to the TV screen and barking away as the segment aired.
Matt wrote an apology across the last video, saying: “Sorry to all dogs watching @BBCCountryfile.”
Meanwhile in the same episode, Helen Skelton left viewers fuming after a visit to a farm shop.
The presenter headed north for a segment on shopping local, calling in at the Crag House Farm Shop in Leeds to talk about their home-made goods.
But after the camera panned in on two jars of local honey, which cost £6.99 each, viewers took to Twitter to kick off.
One posted: “Buy local .. Honey for £6.99. Would buy local if I could afford to do in these places.”
Another posted: “You lost me at £7 for some f**king honey,” as a third put: “Meat I pick from butchers, but there’s no way i’m gonna pay 7 quid for a jar of honey or jam! lol.”
A witty Countryfile fan then wrote: “£6 for a jar of honey. Well stung there.”
Countryfile continues on Sunday, January 24 at 7pm on BBC One.
