Matt Baker's wife Nicola has had a lot to celebrate recently, after welcoming a new furry family member and enjoying a special launch with her loved ones.
She had more good news to share this week, when she re-posted a snapshot to her Instagram Stories that showed her first book on sale at Sainsbury's, alongside bestselling children's authors Jacqueline Wilson and David Baddiel.
The mum-of-two is a physiotherapist-turned-author who released her children's book, Finding Hope, at the end of last month, following complimentary early reviews – and a lot of hype from her supportive husband!
The father-of-two shared his pride in his other half as he shared a video that showed him and Nicola going to see her book be printed.
Taking to Instagram, Matt captioned the clip: "I took a trip to the printers with my wife @mrsnicolabaker to see her first book in The Whistledown Farm Adventures come off the line.

Matt's career continues to go from strength to strength, with his work on Countryfile and his travel shows with his parents attracting praise from viewers.

In a caption accompanying the video, the busy dad explained more – and his loyal wife Nicola left an especially supportive comment.

"It's a real disappointment not to be out riding on the UK streets as the Rickshaw Challenge has been a highlight of Children in Need for me for the past 13 years – I'd like to thank you supporters for all the lives you've helped Team Rickshaw change and the impact you've had on so many young people. You've been incredible!

The Countryfile co-host's followers were quick to comment that they thought it was a "shame" the annual event was no longer going ahead.

The annual event saw Matt and a team of young bike riders who had previously been supported by the charity travel the UK in a rickshaw relay over five days, raising money for Children in Need.
