KELVIN Fletcher and his wife were left horrified after their son got sheep’s poo in his eyes in a revolting Big Farming Adventure accident.
Monday’s episode of the BBC series saw former Emmerdale actor Kelvin trying to get three of their sheep ready for the Ashbourne Show in Derbyshire.

Kelvin and wife Liz hoped winning an award for their rare-breed Cotswold sheep would increase the value of their flock.
However, Daniel the ram wasn’t in the mood to be paraded around and the day before the show, the couple found him covered in his own mess.
Liz had to wash him down and cut away the poo from his coat, while a baffled Kelvin said: “None of the others are like that. It’s just little Daniel. Typical boy!”
Kelvin then started to spray Daniel with a hose but accidentally caught Liz in the crossfire.
As she moved away, the couple’s three-year-old son Milo – who had been standing close to the animal – ran towards his mum and cried “My eyes, my eyes.”
As Liz bent down to see what was the matter, she exclaimed: “Oh you’ve got poo in his eyes!”
When it came to show day, Daniel still wouldn’t cooperate, refusing to stand up and playing dead instead.
Thankfully all was not lost for the couple, as another of their sheep, Rosie, came in fourth place and received a rosette after her display with the couple’s daughter Marnie, five.
The family moved from their home in Oldham to the farm on the edge of the Peak District National Park in 2020.
Their 120-acre farm has an 18th-Century cottage, outbuildings, 20 sheep, three pigs and three alpacas.
