Jeremy Clarkson launched an early morning appeal as he pleaded for some help with one of his newborn pigs.
The farmer says one of his animals gave birth very late last night - and then showed 'signs of distress'.
The 62-year-old host of hit show Clarkson's Farm took to twitter at 1.30am this morning in as he revealed how the farm's first piglet had been born hours before.
Jeremy, whose show about his Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton has proved popular on Prime Video, asked: "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?"
The platform didn't let him down as people rushed to offer their support.
There was plenty of advice on hand - and also some not-so-helpful tips as one person replied with a picture of a rasher of bacon.
Someone else told Jeremy: "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."
Another said: "Unfortunately, not much you can do. Could be a multitude of things, impossible to know without hands on/detailed description. Unless you can get a vet at 2:30 am on a Saturday. Try to keep her calm and comfortable until a vet is available and prey they make it till morning."
A third posted: "I used to have a pastured pork farm with over 100 sows in Australia and assisted in many births. Happy to help if you want."
It's more struggles for the star who in January announced as announced the tiny piglet he introduced just two days before has died.
Proudly sharing a photo of the tiny creature in his arms in the New Year, Jeremy wrote: ‘An piglet. Our first.’
But heartache was around the corner.
Alongside a picture of the creature looking poorly, its eyes half-closed while laying on a pile of hay who simply wrote: "She’s died".
The second series of his Amazon Prime series about life on the farm kicked off last month.
But he has has been slammed by council bosses over his 'misleading' portrayal of a planning permission battle.
Clarkson is filmed storming out of the meeting when they refuse his request to open a new restaurant and farm track on the site.
Fans of the show took to social media to accuse the ‘pen pushing’ councillors of ‘hating’ Clarkson.
But the council have hit back, claiming the scenes were edited and did not accurately represent what really happened.
A spokesperson from West Oxfordshire District Council told Mirror Online: “The planning meeting shown in Clarkson’s Farm ran for well over an hour, but was covered in a matter of minutes in the show.
“That meant a lot of discussion from the meeting was missed, including a lot of very relevant legal planning advice and discussion that informed the decision taken by councillors.”
