Matt Baker has announced that he is leaving The One Show after nine years.In a statement, he said the programme had been"brilliant" at showcasing the"eclectic mix of Britain".
Baker, who has presented The One Show alongside Alex Jones, will continue to present the BBC's Countryfile and sports coverage."It's been brilliant to showcase the eclectic mix of Britain, meet incredible people along the way and witness so many lives changed with the annual Rickshaw Challenge for Children In Need.
The former Blue Peter presenter joined The One Show on a permanent basis in February 2011, months after coming second in 2010's Strictly Come Dancing series. He replaced comedian Jason Manford.
Was such a genuine nice guy when I met him on the one show. Hope he enjoys the time with the family.
Good !
Such a shame. Good luck Matt with all you do. Enjoy your evenings with your children
Sad to see Matt go. Outstanding presenter of the show, and the work he has done for Children in Need x
😪
Really sad that your leaving Matt, but wish you all the very best for your future.
BBCTheOneShow time now to get Matt that knighthood for his involvement with the rickshaw challenge.
Hooray
Met Matt very briefly on the rickshaw challenge. A truly kind and nice person. Love him as a presenter. Hope to see him moving on to bigger and better things
Stopped watching a long time ago. Dull TV
And on the sofa Hillary Clinton, and on the sofa Jean Claude Juncter and.on the sofa tonight Adolf Hitler and Stalin and Gengis Khan Mao Tse Tung telling us all the good things they do for humanity
Probably decided beong made to sit with Hilary Clinton whose founfation is funded by rhe same people who fund ISIS..and a husband who is a serial paedo may have been a step too far
Wonder what he is going to do? I know judging by state of BBCBias will take over from Fiona Bruce as chair of BBCQT bbcimpartiality strikes again
Really loved having MattBaker on TheOneShow - he was my choice before even Jason Manford presented. Cried with Matt last night. But totally understand, and he can always be a guest presenter 👏

He started to cry for goodness sake. How did we go from Dunkirk to this? 🙄
Sad but job well done. Agree that Alex Jones may not return either?
Going to miss the attempt in trying to grow a beard
Matt baker IS the one show , it won’t be the same , no one comes close . ☹️

Proud to say I never heard of him. I wish him well.
Good luck in the future the one show will be a dimmer without you.

Incipid fellow.
Wrong ethnicity?
Good news. He almost single handedly turned the programme into a childish 'Blue Peter' show. Respect for his rickshaw challenges though.
He got the job at the post office then
