Countryfile viewers rage that show should be ‘shut down’ in blistering attack on BBC

COUNTRYFILE viewers have launched a scathing attack on the BBC after the broadcaster aired a segment on Brexit.

During the episode, a section on Brexit and vets soon had fans of the series all riled up.

The segment explored how a shortage of new vets has had an impact on farms and the countryside, caused by Brexit.

Due to the contents of the segment, dozens of viewers took to Twitter to air their thoughts.

Alongside an array of angry faced emojis, one person penned: "The BBC are gaslighting us again. Countryfile is always trying to ram nonsense down people's throats."

Echoing their comments, someone else said: "BBC just said the B word. Absolutely sick of it."

While a third remarked: "Another negative Brexit effect has just been covered on Countryfile."

And in another segment, the presenters discussed issues affecting cows, including one little detail that put a few people off their tea.

Fans were also displeased after regular host Helen Skelton was absent from the episode.

The heartbroken Countryfile star revealed last month that Leeds Rhinos rugby ace Richie Myler had left her after nine years together.

The bombshell news came just four months after she and the player welcomed a third child.

She was also missing from last week's episode of Countryfile, which was on just days after the split was announced.

It then emerged that Richie had already begun a new relationship with a new woman - 32-year old Stephanie Thirkill­ - just weeks after the marriage ended.
