Reporting on all-things rural, Countryfile is a staple TV show for many in the UK. It’s time to get acquainted with one of the show’s presenters, Joe Crowley.

For over 30 years, the BBC’s Countryfile has been bringing us the latest on environmental issues and countryside news. Familiar faces have graced the show over the years from Matt Baker to John Craven, Anita Rani to Michaela Strachan.

Nowadays there are some new presenters on the BBC show, such as Joe Crowley. So, where else have viewers seen him?

Lakes filming for Countryfile. So amazing to be back in Cumbria and also to be filming with another presenter again – it must have been well over 6months since I last worked alongside a presenting pal! Always a delight to work alongside the talented @ellieharrisonoriginof (Still getting used to the distant joint selfies tho…)

Joe’s family life

TV presenter Joe has clearly managed to garner himself a successful career. But, as well as having a busy work life, he’s also a father of one.

Joe is a supporter of the Anthony Nolan Trust, a charity for those with blood cancer. Sadly, Joe’s father passed away when he was 15 years old due to blood cancer. In 2014 he ran the London Marathon in support of the cause. Today, Joe has a son of his own, Alfie. He often takes to Instagram (@joecrowleytv) to share snaps of himself and Alfie, however, little is known about his private life or a potential partner.

What else do we know about the Countryfile presenter?

Besides being a great BBC presenter, Joe has even more talents. According to Countryfile Live.com, he can play the piano and the violin. He’s also said to love the theatre which he can be seen attending via Twitter in 2020. Joe is a “keen footballer, scuba diver and fisherman”, too!

Since joining Countryfile in 2015, Joe has filmed all over the UK, including Cumbria, Hampshire, Wales and more. However, as reported by The Express, it’s not all been rosy on the show as he did find out during filming that he’s actually allergic to some animals! When asked what the most difficult part of his job was, Joe answered: “Probably my newfound allergies… I’m sneezing left, right and centre around horses and cats!”.
