While it is often celebrities who overshadow their children, it has been the reverse for the former Blue Peter and One Show presenter since his parents landed their second TV series.<\/p>\n

The County Durham-born star, who is appearing alongside Janice and Mike in Matt Baker: Travels With Mum And Dad, said: \u201cIt\u2019s hilarious because it\u2019s like I\u2019m a child now.<\/p>\n

\u201cLots of people keep coming up to me and ask, \u2018Where\u2019s your mum and dad?\u2019 It\u2019s as if I can\u2019t go out without them. It\u2019s really funny.\u201d<\/p>\n

The More 4 show follows Matt, 45, Janice, 68, and Mick, 79, on some memorable, easy-to-reach excursions around their beloved North-East as they relive old memories and make new ones. \u201cThey are enjoying it and they\u2019vehad this renewed sense of adventure,\u201d revealed the former Countryfile star.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact all the places we go to are accessible and they\u2019re not too far away from home means there\u2019s not that jeopardy of leaving the house. We can have a lovely time and we take the caravan with us, which is Dad\u2019s man cave.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt\u2019s family-based shows, such as Our Farm In The Dales, came about after he set up his own company after leaving The One Show in 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I left, I wanted to make TV that I knew struck a chord with people, and this does,\u201d said Matt. \u201cFamilies seem to latch on to it, which makes everyone think about the precious time we can spend with our parents.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reactions they\u2019ve had when people come up and talk to them have been invaluable.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has inspired people of my generation to create memories.\u201d<\/p>\n
