Springtime on the Farm 2024: Fans react to new series of Channel 5 show filmed at Cannon Hall Farm and presented by Helen Skelton and Jules Hudson

The Channel 5 show aired on Monday, April 15 at 8pm.

Helen Skelton and Jules Hudson learned all about the lambing process at Cannon Hall Farm with Rob and Dave Nicholson.

The lambing season was their biggest yet with 250 livestock and viewers also took a break from the farming drama as JB Gill explored the healing power of nature in a symphony of the dawn chorus.

Yorkshire Vet Rohin Aojula also took the responsibility of nurturing new animals when he travelled to the West Midlands Safari Park to meet a young Sumatran tiger, one of the most at-risk species in the world.

A Facebook post by Cannon Hall Farm revealed that sadly during the first episode one of their donkeys Raspberry had lost her foal. The post read: “We were heartbroken for poor Raspberry when she lost her foal, and it was such a traumatic experience for our team.

“We knew there will have been some tearful moments in tonight’s episode of Springtime on the Farm, so we wanted to reassure you that she has made a full recovery and is being well-loved by her pals.”
