Chris Packham horrifies fans with photo of ‘firebomb attack’ on home as he calls for help | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

Wildlife expert, Chris Packham, 60, took to Twitter yesterday evening to share a horrifying picture of the firebomb attack on his home in October of last year. The television presenter has shared the picture in a bid for information, and in preparation for his TV appearance discussing the terrifying ordeal.

Chris’ home in the New Forest was targeted by two masked men on October 8 last year.

The broadcaster said the men set a vehicle on fire at the gate of his home, causing the dangerous blaze.

He posted a picture of the horrifying moment the fire appeared to begin to spread to his gate on Twitter today to share an update on the incident.

In view of his 540,900 followers, he penned: “Tomorrow I’ll be speaking on @BBCCrimewatch on @BBCOne at 10am about the firebomb attack on my home last October.

He questioned if the men were members of conservation organisations or rural groups, or the “internet trolls, who fill my timeline with hate”.

The TV broadcaster also mentioned how he had previously discovered dead animals left outside his home, including foxes and badgers, but actions against him had now escalated “to damage that property”.

Chris continued: “Perhaps the cost is having my gate burned down, causing thousands of pounds’ worth of damage.

“If you think that by burning down those gates that I’m suddenly going to become a supporter… then you’re wrong.
