Countryfile tonight showed the conditions under which Matt has been trying to juggle his commitments - tonights edition showed him in a much more favourable light than the highly editted SCD VT. Miracle he and Aliona did as well as did given the limited training time.

Don't know what marks he would have got for his jig though!

That was done the week he got stuck in The Hebrides with the bad weather.

It must be difficult for anyone who is still working and trying to train. They can't have many hours left to sleep

I was hoping to see Aliona there with him when he was doing that highland jig
