Helen Skelton fans were concerned on Wednesday night as the Strictly Come Dancing star semifinalist was missing from Channel 5 show Winter on the Farm.
The Cumbrian host is usually the face of Winter on the Farm alongside Jules Hudson and every night during the series, the star broadcasts live from Cannon Hall Farm in Barnsley in South Yorkshire.
But tonight fans were dismayed to find Julia Bradbury had taken over from missing Helen Skelton on Wednesday night.

"She's the only reason I watch"
But not everyone was sad about it, as many of Julia Bradbury's fans came out in support of the star's appearance.
@leecks28 said: "great to see @JuliaBradbury on our screens looking amazing again"
@azsdaadam said: "Julia Bradbury is made for this show"
@peter_h_todd said: "Great to see @JuliaBradbury co-hosting #WinterOnTheFarm tonight. A very professional presenter and I think Julia and Jules will make a great show tonight."
It was explained at the start of the programme that Julia Bradbury took the helm of the show to allow Helen Skelton to go off and practice for her semi final on Strictly Come Dancing with pro partner Gorka Marquez.
Helen Skelton is down to the final five as she makes a bid for the final this Sunday on the BBC1 dance competition.
Gorka had appeared on Winter on the Farm the previous night, Tuesday night, to take in her farm life and because the pair had to immediately leave to rehearse from 8am the next day.
Now Julia Bradbury will replace Helen Skelton on the show, it was announced, until the end of the series.
Helen Skelton won't return to the show until December 20th for the programme's Christmas special on the farm.
Elsewhere in tonight's episode, the hosts Jules Hudson and Julia Bradbury tried mulled cider and then made craft Christmas tree decorations.
