Second episode

In the second episode of the six-part Farmers Apprentice, released on Tuesday (28 October), the girls’ team, who lost task one, got an early morning wake-up call to go and milk cows.

However, there was no time to freshen up after their milking duties as the pressure ratcheted up a notch when the 10 apprentices were called together for a surprise announcement.

But are cracks beginning to appear and is the competition getting too much when some serious errors are made, costing one team a victorious win?
