When he was just 18 Matt began his professional working life at a Blockbuster store.
During a shift, Matt was faced with two masked men who burst through the door of the video rental shop.
Desperate to gain access to the tills, Matt had a gun pointed in his face by the robbers.
He recalled: “It was quite surreal. Two men burst through the door – one in a Green Goblin mask, another in a balaclava – and they put a gun in my face.”
Matt continued to The Mirror: “Everything seemed to slow down.
“The guy with the gun shoved my female co-workers into the backroom and locked them in. The other one was with me, trying to open the tills.”
Eventually the masked men fled the store when a much bigger customer walked in, interrupting the robery.
“That really shook me up,” said Matt. “I remember shaking afterwards when the police came.
“It wasn’t until I left that I remembered there was a panic button I could have pressed that Blockbuster had told me about when I joined.”
The Yorkshire Vet first burst onto screens in 2015 and quickly became a fan-favourite.
To date the show has racked up an impressive 19 series.
