A new show which throws celebrities into the mucky world of agriculture airs tonight after being filmed in Kent.

Celebs on the Farm sees the likes of Megan McKenna from TOWIE and Dancing on Ice judge Louie Spence trying to tackle the challenges of the rural world.

An alpaca herd on Romney Marsh received star treatment as part of the series.

The celebrities, also including ex-Strictly pro dancer Gleb Savchneko, judo Olympian Ashley McKenzie and Sandi Bogle from Gogglebox, met the inquisitive animals on Haguelands Farm in Burmarsh, near New Romney.

The contestants, completed by TOWIE's Bobby Norris, Ex On The Beach glamour girl Charlotte Dawson and actress Lorraine Chase, also visited Badlesmere Dairy Farm in Faversham in the series for a day of milking cows.

In each episode, viewers will be able to see the group, compete for a coveted Best in Show rosette, which is awarded by farmer Chris Jeffery.

Annie Clifton-Holt, of Alpaca Annie, the clothing company based on Haguelands, said: "The celebrities are surprisingly good and the alpacas loved them.

"Our alpacas are gentle animals and naturally inquisitive, which led to a lot of fun and laughter during filming.

"While the programme is full of humour it also showcases the diversity and hard work of UK farmers.”

Alpaca Annie was the dream of Annie and Robert Clifton-Holt, who started the venture as a hobby in 2009.

The herd has steadily grown and the recent farm-bred cria - or baby alpaca - was named Southgate.

A popular business has evolved, now selling clothing, homeware and gifts made from the herd’s own wool.

The 3,500-acre farm also offers alpaca trekking on Romney Marsh and meet and greet sessions which includes hand feeding.

Haguelands Farm has been a family affair since 1947 when it was purchased by Annie’s father.

It is a working farm with arable crops. both Annie and Robert’s sons Alan and Toby take an active part in running it.

The first episode of Celebs on the Farm will be aired on 5Star tonight at 10pm.
