The broadcaster, who has hosted several nature shows, has also written 15 books, as well as magazine and newspaper columns.

Chris, 63, is sitting on a £1.4million cash and assets pile in his TV company and has motors worth £78,000, latest accounts for his media firm reveal.

The balance sheet also details “plant and machinery” worth £117,965 and shows he has ploughed more than £41,000 into a new studio at his home in Hampshire.

He runs firm Chris Packham Ltd and 2023’s figures indicate the outfit is worth £1.3million, up from just over £1million in 2022.

The books also reveal he paid corporation tax of £305,846 over the past two financial years – meaning he has been earning just under £15,000 per average week for his wildlife enterprises.
