Countryfile's Adam Henson, 58, has been a staple on the show since 2001, giving viewers a glimpse into life on his Farm Park in the Cotswolds. Adam secured his role on the show partly thanks to his famous father Joe Henson, who was a pioneer in his own right, having hosted shows like Animal Magic and In The Country nearly four decades ago.

Speaking to The Guardian about his famous relative, Adam said: "Leslie was married to another actress when Dad was born and the scandal could have ruined his career. So it was agreed
