Helen Skelton fans gutted as star's show Springtime on the Farm taken off air
Viewers have been left annoyed after the latest series of Channel 5 farming show Springtime on the Farm returned - with last year's episode broadcast.
Fans of the series took to social media to air their dismay over the accidental repeat, with the Helen Skelton -fronted show taken off air.
Showing life at Cannon Hall Farm in Barnsley, the episode focused on welcoming some adorable four-legged friends to the farm. But, due to a technical error, Channel 5 showed an episode from last year.
One Twitter user wrote: “What happened, watching a repeat of last year, gutted”, while another questioned: “Is that what we think happened at the start of the show? Or was it always going to be a repeat?”
A third replied: “They had technical issues so we ended up with a repeat”.

Other viewers were left disappointed after realising the episode wasn’t new and took to social media to complain, reported YorkshireLive.
One viewer said: "I thought I just had deja vu... Thank you", while another wrote: "Why are Channel 5 showing last years Springtime on the farm, where is the new series".
A third chimed: "What about showing the new episode that was planned for tonight. When will we see that one" with another adding: "How have you done that?!"
Another user typed: "I think there has been an issue on channel 5 as there was a glitch before the start and it is showing last years springtime on the farm?!"

Someone else added: "Why are you playing last years #springtime on the farm and not the new series, have you made a mistake as this is not the new episode, not very happy was looking forward to the series."
In a statement Channel 5 confirmed it was a technical issue, saying the show would be back tomorrow (Weds) with the new series.

Channel 5 said: "Apologies, we've had a technical issue with today's planned Springtime on the Farm. It will be back tomorrow at 8pm as planned, all new."
One viewer responded: “Feel like I’ve been cheated out of an episode hope we get an extra episode at the end for what we’ve missed. Caused a mass panic on all the pages haha.”
