Viewers of Countryfile were stunned as an 'uncomfortable' sex scene between two pigs on a Bristol farm was aired.
The presenter of the BBC series, Matt Baker, had gone to Yew Tree Farm in Bristol to meet a pig breeder 'passionate about her product'.
Catherine Withers used to go to an 'off-site breeder for her pigs, but breeding on-farm gave her more control over the final product', according to Matt.

Yew Tree Farm is the last working farm within the boundaries of Bristol City Council, and presenter Matt called it “a slice of rural life with an unexpected backdrop”.
In the program, we met a wild boar called Emperor - weighing a healthy 300kg - who was paired with pedigree pig, Molly, and it didn't take long for the pair to start... getting to know each other.
As things got underway, Matt asked politely: "Does he know his job?", to which Catherine replied: "He does, he's an experienced boar."
During the rather graphic sex scene, Catherine joked "it's not always gentle to make bacon", and viewers headed straight to Twitter and all said the same thing about the spectacle airing on BBC One, reports The Mirror.
One wrote: "Pig porn is not what I expected when I put BBC1 on at 6pm. #Countryfile "
Another said: "Can’t believe I’m watching pig porn on a Sunday evening. And the size of his nads!! #countryfile "
