Ben Fogle: New Lives in the Wild continues this week, with the presenter attempting to herd sheep in the Shetland Islands.<\/p>\n

In a first-look clip obtained exclusively by RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Fogle can be seen trying to help out new farmers Helen and Jason, who need to shear their flock.<\/p>\n

But, as he tries to round up the sheep into a fence pen, it doesn\u2019t go too well\u2026<\/p>\n

Cue an hilarious scene of Fogle running around in a field as he attempts to direct the sheep by saying: \u201cSheep that way!\u201d only for the animals to head in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n

Luckily he\u2019s saved by Helen, who manages to get all the sheep in one place, and Jason later puts him out of his misery, as he admits they\u2019re still trying to adjust to things despite having lived there for three years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree years in, two and a half years with sheep, we still haven\u2019t touched the surface about doing this!\u201d Jason says.<\/p>\n

Speaking about how frustrating it can be to gather the sheep, Helen adds: \u201cI find it upsetting\u2026 \u2018Look, you need to come in, you need to get your fleeces off and your pedicures. You need to get your vitamins and your beauty treatments. Why are you just not coming in? Why would you just rather run yourself ragged?\u2019 I\u2019m trying to convey my thoughts to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

And this is just the beginning, as the farmers now have to shear the sheep, and Ben isn\u2019t exempt.<\/p>\n
