COUNTRYFILE had viewers in stitches this evening after Matt Baker suffered an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction.
Countryfile's Matt Baker suffers minor wardrobe malfunction
The 39-year-old host was presenting an episode titled Nature Strikes Back - when it did just that.
Matt was trying to retrace the lost village of Dunwich which was once one of the country’s most important trading ports.
After a trip out on the North Sea with University of Southampton’s Professor of Physical Geography, David Sear, the pair took to land to find out more about the lost history.
Using maps produced from high tech sonar imaging, David took Matt to some of Dunwich’s most significant sites.

Hang on, hang on!
However, at one particular site, Matt got into trouble after his clothes became caught while taking mud core samples.
Matt said: “Here David is looking to the ground beneath our feet to tell us more of Dunwich’s story.”
David then asked: “Okay, we’re ready to go. Are you ready for this?” as host Matt replied: “Yep, just put our weight on it?”
The Professor continued: “Yes, put our weight on it and down we go. That’s it! All the way. That’s it.”

Matt then said: “Oh yeah something suctioning here. Hang on, hang on!” before halting the core sample as his hood was caught on the pole.
Bursting into fits of laughter, David helped Matt with his hood, adding: “There we go.”
Viewers took to social media following the gaffe, with one tweeting: “That wasn't meant to happen #Countryfile,” as another added: “Oh Matt, you’ve given me the Sunday night giggles! #Countryfile.”
Countryfile continues next Sunday on BBC One at 6.15pm.
