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.
