Countryfile viewers expressed concern for presenter Adam Henson during the Easter Sunday episode after noticing a long red mark on his face. The 58-year-old farmer and author appeared on the BBC show alongside Margherita Taylor and Matt Baker, investigating the Schmallenberg virus, a deadly livestock disease spread by midges.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, viewers speculated about the mark, with comments including: 'Adam looks like he's developed a birth mark on his right cheek since his last appearance!'; 'Has Adam been kicked in the face by a rare breed?'; and 'Has he had an argument with a razor blade?'
Adam, who has presented Countryfile since 2001, runs a 650-hectare estate and the Cotswold Farm Park with his best friend Duncan Andrews. He married his wife Charlie in 2021 after she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer; she is now in ongoing recovery following surgery.
