CELEB ON THE FARM!

Singer Russell Watson is touring the UK in Chicago – and when he’s not, he can be found mucking out on his new farm. ‘It’s basically a petting zoo,’ he tells me. ‘We’re actually looking at some sheep to buy this week. We have horses and alpacas, which I hand feed. We have them to trim bushes [and] to keep the grass down and they are great at warding away foxes, which will come in handy when the sheep are in. The alpacas are called Rodney and Blanket. They now come and see me when I call them. I’ll shout, “Where’s my babies?” and they will come running.’
