BBC star forced to step back after cancer diagnosis in devastating double health blow
BBC This Farming Life star Terrance Glenn opened up about his health battles which forced him to slow down. The BBC Two series has been running since 2017, chronicles the lives of families running farms in remote locations across Scotland and Northern Ireland.
During Thursday's (March 5) instalment of the programme, viewers caught up with the Glenn family, who own a farm in Campbeltown
Andrew and his partner Gail were gathering their flock of 400 Scottish mules and blackface sheep. The couple were aided by dad Terrance, who attempted to round up escapees.
Terrance has managed the farm for 30 years but has been unable to continue the role fully due to several health issues, with Andrew now taking on more responsibility.
"I'm not trying to ever push him off the farm. I want him to just have an option to do so and provide him with a little capital to have a good time doing it," Andrew said, with Gail admitting Terrance goes "stir-crazy" if he's stuck in his house.
Later in the programme, Terrace explained that they started cutting back on cattle around 10 years ago because of his declining health.
"At that stage, it was more to do with my health. I had been push, push, pushing the whole time and then you just get to a stage where the body can't take it anymore," the farmer said.
Terrance recently suffered a major stroke, forcing him to take things easier while at work. He was also diagnosed with prostate cancer.
He recalled: "When you get a phone call and the person on the other end says, 'I'm sorry but you've got cancer.' The girl kept chatting away to me after that but I never heard another thing after that.
"But I'm one of the lucky ones. I have active surveillance, so they just keep a really close eye on me and they are great. Nobody wants to ever hear those words but I was very lucky in the end."
Terrance added: "It just made me think different about things. You should stop and enjoy your surroundings."
Andrew described his relationship with Terrance as being like both friends and father and son.
"I owe him a lot. He's taught me so many things about how to be a man, how to farm," Andrew said before Gail branded him the "kindest person ever".
