Our Yorkshire Farm fans were left baffled on Tuesday evening as they received a rather peculiar warning ahead of the programme.
Amanda Owen and her husband Clive were facing problems on the farm, as a blizzard hit, leaving the hill farm and farmhouse surrounded by snowdrifts.
It meant their sheep were in danger – including some pregnant members of the flock – after they got lost while out on the moors.
She and Clive both went searching for the missing sheep, but poor visibility and travelling on foot made locating them difficult.
Thankfully, Amanda managed to locate four of the missing sheep in the field, blinded by the snow – and decided to feed them hay where they stood.
And to make things more bizarre, the Channel 5 announcer warned viewers that this segment of the programme contained “imitative behaviours” which were not safe to copy at home.
Turning to Twitter, one confused fan wrote: “#OurYorkshireFarm waiting to see what the warning of imitative behaviour at the start is for? Thin ice? Any ideas?”
Someone responded: “I thought maybe the igloo? Possibility of a collapse?” in reference to an igloo shelter the kids had made – and proceeded to wriggle into.

Another viewer giggled as they quipped: “The little ones doing pouting selfies… So the social media pouters can’t be offended… coz they were warned about being imitated!”
Another fan was left fuming at the warning, as they dismissed it as “woke idiocy”.
They tweeted: “Absolute woke idiocy warnings imitative behaviour. What b******s.”
But the reason for the warning soon became clear, as the Owen family’s favourite swimming spot had completely frozen over.

Taking advantage of the winter weather, the family decided to make impromptu ice skates and turn the former lake into an ice rink – which could prove dangerous if the ice broke and someone fell into the freezing water below.
The episode was almost entirely filmed by the Owen family, as it was recorded when winter Covid-19 lockdowns were still in place across the UK.
It meant the kids got to get up close and personal with learning recording tricks with their handheld cameras, and got to film each other snowboarding, being homeschooled and feeding owls.
And fans were clearly pleased to have the Owens back on their screens, as one tweeted: “#OurYorkshireFarm has to be one of the best programmes on telly, would love to spend the day on the farm with Amanda Owen and her little loves!”
“This family just make my heart shine!” someone else posted.
Our Yorkshire Farm continues next Tuesday at 9pm on Channel 5.
