But back to Helen and the former Strictly Come Dancing star was trying not to let an alpaca distract her as she and Jules stood in their pen. While explaining what was to come on the show, an alpaca appeared to take a liking to her, leaving her telling Jules: "It is really hard to enjoy when you are being hustled by an Alpaca! Calm down, Stanley!"
As Stanley walked away, he seemed to need the attention from the crew and left Jules to note: "The animals are tucked up in here and joining us tonight. More obedient than Stanley the alpaca who is being very cheeky, trying to eat scripts and trying to eat the crew, looking for a Christmas present or maybe looking for a girlfriend."
Later the Llamas also provided further distraction as Jules noted how they 'savaged' other members of the crew. And also, as Helen and Jules stood in front of dozens of lambs, they couldn't help but notice

On Sandra Hüller’s wall is the first piece of art she ever owned: a photograph she bought from a shop in Munich. “I won’t say its name,” she says archly, “because that would be advertising.” It’s a dynamic, joyous image showing the ensemble cast of Stravinsky’s ballet The Rite of Spring as staged by Pina Bausch, the German choreographer famous for saying, “Dance, dance, otherwise we are lost.” “I just love it,” Hüller says admiringly, turning her head for another look. “These people are all making the same movement, as you can see.
