Matt Baker shares health update on mum Janice after she was trampled by sheep in horror farm accident
MATT Baker has opened up on his mum’s health after she was trampled by sheep in a horror farm accident.
Janice Baker was working on the family’s farm when the scary incident occurred in 2021.
While in the sheep pen she was trampled by them – resulting in her breaking her leg.
After being rushed to hospital it later transpired that Janice would need a knee replacement.
Now, three years on from the horror incident, Matt has shared a health update on Janice.
The former One Show host revealed the family have made adjustments on their farm to help Janice.
Matt exclusively told The Sun: “She’s doing good, and it was a bit of a blessing in disguise really.
“Because you know as your parents get older, farming is a really tough job and you just can’t keep going at that level.
“So we reduced the flop down and changed the breeds over to stuff that’s easier for my mum to look after, because she’s the sort of, she’s the main checker there.
“So we did that and things are going great now.”
Matt was speaking as the brand new series of his More4 show Travels with Mum and Dad continues Mondays at 8pm.
Meanwhile, Matt recently revealed he’s up for returning to The One Show following Jermaine Jenas’ sacking.
