The One Show hosted another reunion between Alex Jones and ex-presenter Matt Baker this week.
Jones and Baker co-hosted the BBC One magazine show for several years, first teaming up in 2011 and working together until Baker's departure in March 2020.
Returning to the studio yesterday (April 4), Baker told Jones and Roman Kemp all about his latest TV series Our Dream Farm with Matt Baker, which is set to premiere on Channel 4 this weekend.
"It is life changing in so many ways"

Our Dream Farm welcomes seven applicants shortlisted by the National Trust to a 340-acre farm in Northumberland. For three weeks they'll work and live on the farm, demonstrating their abilities with livestock, approach to conservation, and vision for turning it into a viable business.
"It is life-changing in so many ways," said Baker. "All of these applicants were shortlisted by the National Trust, it is their absolute dream to be a tenant farmer.
"The majority of them have tried and tried to get their hands on a tenant farm before, but have been unsuccessful.
"So what we've kinda done is supersize that application process and give them the best possible chance to show the landlords what they're capable of. They're on the actual farm that they hope to take on."

The eight-part series will see the applicants presenting their vision for the farm, should they be lucky enough to secure the 10-year tenancy.
In the first episode, applicants will be asked to prepare a lambing shed for pregnant ewes and a penning system for the newborn lambs, during one of the farm's busiest times of year.
When Baker first announced his decision to quit The One Show, Jones penned a tribute to him on social media.
It read: "I would like to say how much I will miss #MattBaker. Thank you for sitting by my side for the last 9 years.
"You are a superb broadcaster, a consummate professional + a dear friend. We'll remain part of each other lives but the gap left on the green sofa will be hard to fill."
The One Show airs weekdays on BBC One.
