Anita Rani was devastated after a newborn lamb was abandoned by its mother before dying on Sunday's episode of Countryfile - a lambing special.
The presenter, 44, had been assisting a Lake District farmer called Katie deliver just before the tragedy struck.
"I have never done this before, but I'm so excited," enthused former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Anita, as she first walked through fields with farmer Katie looking for sheep showing signs of labour at the beginning of the show.
