Matt Baker has been commentating on gymnastics for the BBC at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Currently a presenter on Countryfile, many are wondering why the 43-year-old is calling the action at the global sporting event.
One baffled fan tweeted: “So I have a lot of time for Matt Baker on Countryfile, but why on Earth is he doing commentary on the gymnastics?! Couldn’t they actually get someone who knows about gymnastics? Very distracting…”
Another wrote: "Why is Matt Baker even in Tokyo commentating on gymnastics?"
Before Baker became a familiar face on primetime television, he was a gymnastics competitor and won several national prizes.
The former co-host of The One Show took to Instagram yesterday to clear up any doubts about his gymnastics credentials.
The ex gymnast posted newspaper cutouts of him performing as a youngster, one of which saw him in the middle of a routine on the pommel horse.
He penned: “For all those asking... here’s some clippings from my Old scrap book! As a lad gymnastics was my life...it taught me the simple recipe if you work hard you get a result.
“Without my sport I would never be where I am today ... #gymnastics #workhard.”
During his commentary last week, Baker had to apologise for technical difficulties after commentators lost their coverage of the men's team gymnastics event.
Fans were being treated to expert analysis from former Team GB gymnast Craig Heap, 48, before the live feed went down, leaving him startled.
Baker conjured up an apology as he said: "We've lost our pictures, we have lost our pictures.”
Their feed was soon back up and running as he added: "Sorry everyone, we're back on, we're back on.
But shortly afterwards the feed cut once again, just as the commentators were settling back in.
Once again Baker had to apologise and said: "It's gone again, it's gone again! Sorry everybody, I do apologise for this.
"We will get our technical team. We're not in control of the pictures that are coming back from Tokyo. So we're um.... well, it looked good!"
On Monday, Team GB's Max Whitlock successfully defended his men’s pommel horse title and is now a three-time Olympic gold medallist.
