Big Week on the Farm proved to be a massive hit last year. One of our favourite highlights? Country singer Nathan Carter, who got in on the action by delivering two gorgeous lambs and took on the 'Pull the Udder One' challenge.
Speaking about the experience where he assisted in one of the biggest lambing weeks of the year he said: "It's unreal. I thought that was amazing. Never seen anything like that before, I couldn't believe how quickly it happened, to be honest".
Considering it was his first time on a working farm, he did very well:

And that’s not all...Carter also took part in the Pull the Udder One challenge, where he had to follow Mairead Ronan who took on the challenge on Monday night.
The goal is to get as much milk as possible in a minute using the traditional hand-milking method. Watch the video below...as he said himself: 'I'm on the pull!'
Not bad - the task was a bit of a challenge for Mairead, who really struggled with the whole idea of touching the cow, never mind milking it!
It's harder than it looks for many and Mairead only managed to get only a teaspoon of milk (5 millilitres) on the first night of the show - watch the video here.
