CUMBRIAN TV personality Helen Skelton will be returning to screens this Christmas - in a new series of a popular Channel 5 show reflecting farming life.
Cumbrian born Helen Skelton and co-host Jules Hudson are back at Cannon Hall Farm in South Yorkshire for four editions in a new series of Winter on the Farm as the show captures the beauty and challenges of farming through the winter months.
This year Helen is set to take centre stage, along with farmers Rob and Dave Nicholson, as she faces a new challenge: showing sheep for the first time at her local show in Cumbria, but can she handle the pressure of the show ring?
Over four nights the programme will 'showcase the spirit of rural life as the earth grows sleepy and the frost creeps in and celebrate the natural beauty at this time of year'.
The first episode of the new series of Winter on the Farm will air on Tuesday, December 3 - with a total of four episodes in the series.
In a preview of the first episode, Channel 5 said: "Helen Skelton and Jules Hudson are back at Cannon Hall Farm in South Yorkshire for a new series of the show, capturing the beauty and challenges of farming through the winter months.
"JB Gill meets a farmer with an innovative way to milk his cows, and Yorkshire Vet Rohin Aojula takes his dad on a special day out to meet the holiest of cows."
