Last night Aoibhín Garrihy entered an elite club on RTÉ One's Big Week on the Farm as she attempted the Pull the Udder One challenge. 

The actress and Dancing with the Stars finalist had to milk as much from a cow as possible in one minute, and joined the ranks of Nathan Carter in terms of pure entertainment.

And judging by her Instagram, Carmel the Cow made quite the impression on Aoibhín.

Had her practice paid off?

Earlier in the week Aoibhín revealed how she had the edge on the competition with some early practice on her Uncle's farm. She said how she wanted to do her farming background some justice. And the result?

Aoibhín danced right to the top of the leader board with an impressive 203 ml milked, beating last year's reigning champion Siobhán Ryan's 140 ml.

The question now is; can tonight's guest, Ruby Walsh beat Aoibhín to the post?

See how Aoibhín got on below:
