Jeremy Clarkson launched an appeal in the early hours of this morning (Saturday March 11) for help from pig farmers after one of his animals gave birth and then showed 'signs of distress'. The host of hit show Clarkson's Farm made his appeal in a 1.30am Twitter post in which he revealed how the farm's first piglet had been born.
Clarkson, whose programme about his Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton has proved popular on Amazon Prime, posted: "Pig farmers. Help. It’s been nearly two hours since our first piglet was born. The sow is in some distress. What do we do?"
He was given a wealth of advice from a number of people on Twitter. @jason_tom99 wrote: "Likely it's going to involve lubing up an arm and reaching in to pull piglets out." While @theorigpundit tried to inject a bit of humour by responding: "Tell her if she doesn’t cheer up quickly, she’ll be forced to watch a Rishi Sunak speech on a never ending loop."
