BIG Farming Adventure viewers were left shell-shocked after hearing a grisly story about how a farmer was eaten by his own pigs.
Monday night’s instalment of the new BBC show starred Kelvin Fletcher and his wife Liz Marsland – and one of them got more than they bargained for when meeting a local farmer.

Having already brought a flock of sheep to the farm the week before, the farming newcomers were looking to add some pork production to their budding enterprise.
Liz went to meet a pig farmer to buy a number of animals to rear for pork farming, but she soon learned about the grim realities of living in the countryside.
In the segment, farmer Gilly revealed to Liz: “My father’s cousin died in a pen of pigs, you know. There wasn’t a lot left of him.
“He had a heart attack in the pen. He was eaten.”
Liz, clearly taken aback by the revelation, questioned: “By the pigs?”
“They love it yeah,” replied Gilly, before adding in an unphased tone: “They love a bit of meat, yeah.”
Coming to terms with the admission, Liz uttered to herself: “Eaten by your own pigs – don’t leave me in with the pigs on my own, Gilly.”
Although the identity of the farmer on the show was not revealed, a farmer was eaten by his own pigs after collapsing from a suspected heart attack in Poland in 2020.
The 71-year-old man was devoured by 12 Hungarian Mangalica pigs after he collapsed while collecting water from a well on his farm.
His remains were found by a neighbour, who went to check up on him after not seeing him since New Year’s Eve.
With just a pile of bones and skull fragments remaining, it is thought that the animals devoured the farmer’s corpse, which was found near the well.
Big Farming Adventure returns next Monday at 8.30pm on BBC One.
