Matt Wilkinson

Super calm and confident Matt Wilkinson comes from Eastbourne, and is the gerbil-loving son of medical parents.

He attended Eastbourne College where he studied science A-levels and then took the direct route, straight into vet school.

Throughout his final clinical year nothing seems to faze him, whether it's taking the temperature of a horse with diarrhoea, helping to operate on a mouse's tumour or treating an angry monkey for mange.

Matt has high-end surgical ambitions in cardiology or ophthalmology – if he passes his exams of course!
