In one photo, there is a slightly haphazard trailer parked in a field nearly some sleeping pigs, and one person commented: "Looks lush, but anyone else think the pig trailer looks as though it’s crashed and the pigs have fallen out?" Another fan replied: "Yes. I had to do a double-take!"

Will responded with a laughing cry emoji before replying to other fan questions about his day out in the sunshine. When asked where he had gone on his walk, he replied: "We have a family cottage in a village 15mins from Bath. It's wonderful."

He also joked when one follower suggested he looked like James Bond. They wrote: "The new James Bond? Wouldn’t want to break up the furniture in a fight with a villain though. But then again, Will could put it all back together again before leaving. Just saying," to which Will replied: "I have a license to restore wood 007."
