Countryfile presenter Matt Baker has sent social media into a twist after he commented on Olympic gymnast Siomne Biles.
The 46 year old TV star commented on the fact the 27 year old sportswoman had missed out on a god medal after slipping off the balance beam. And at the time, he said: “Well, it just wasn’t to be! C’est la vie for Simone on beam.” He the halted his BBC coverage and told the audience on the back of Simone’s explanation: “She’s talking about the atmosphere, she’s talking about people shushing – we’ve talked about it and the atmosphere in here is like a cauldron when those gymnasts are on.”
He then blamed the crowd saying they were potentially the reason for her not reaching another gold medal. He then insisted the tension around her, especially from the crowds, could have been the reason for her alleged errors.” And fuming fans said: #BBCOlympics gymnastic commentators losing their s**t about Simone Biles having cameras thrust in her face after she fell off the beam is ridiculously ironic seeing as they have basically made the entire Olympics about her & screamed like groupies at every single move she’s made.”

Another pennedre’s a certain irony in the #BBCOlympics gymnastics commentators complaining about the media attention on Simone Biles, when she has been their sole topic of conversation throughout these #OlympicGames.” Matt has recently opened up about his back injury. He previously said: “No, I can’t now. I’ve injured my back.his is midlife – talking about your aches and pains!”
At the time he said: “Hi All, Any advice for a herniated disc …? For a long time now I’ve been dealing with a herniated disc- as an ex gymnast it’s hard not to be able to bend forward… so I decided to have a nerve block injection, – what a brilliant Surgeon and lovely NHS team it was that did my treatment Thankyou all! (also a big thanks to the nurse who used to watch me on Bluepeter – the buttered toast was amazing!). Big thanks also to my friends at Champneys for helping me with my rehab it’s a very special place. If you know of any good exercises or helpful tips I’d love to hear them.. @nhsengland @Champneysspas #backpainrelief #training.”
