Meanwhile, the programme has been filming new episodes for an upcoming series recently, after the coronavirus restrictions got in the way last year.

Posting on Twitter, the BBC host said in the caption: "First day back at work filming for @escape_country. Things are a little different with social distancing but great to be back in the saddle! #ruralliving #countrylife #countryliving."
