He's an integral part of a TV show that's watched by millions each year.
But presenter Iolo Williams has announced he won't be live hosting this year's instalment of BBC nature favourite Autumnwatch, due to start screening next week.
The Builth Wells -born 59-year-old broke news via Twitter yesterday, blaming a scheduling clash resulting from the broadcast dates of the new series being changed to "accommodate live coverage of the FA cup."

Iolo revealed he'll be unable to join co-hosts Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan and Gillian Burke because he'll be leading guided walking tours of the Isle of Mull, just off the west coast of Scotland, at around the same time.
He tweeted, "Unfortunately I won't be live on Autumnwatch this year.
"The dates had to be changed to accommodate live coverage of the FA Cup and the new dates clashed with a week’s guiding on Mull."
Iolo said that he'd "miss the team" and wished them luck with filming, adding that he'd be "back for Winterwatch" in early 2022.
He also co-hosts Springwatch each May.
And the news came as a shock to many of his fans.
"Autumnwatch with no Iolo would be like like Springwatch with no chicks - it’s inconceivable. " posted one.
"That's a shame! So fed up with programming constantly being moved around to accommodate sport," added another.
"You will be greatly missed," wrote a third. "Your reports are one of the highlights for us.
"On a positive side though, at least you'll be available as a football pundit."
