The girls watched as their mother crouched down to pick the lamb’s body out and lay it down on the grass.

“I can see something,” Amanda, 47, said in the clip from the Channel 5 show, and when she spotted the body added, “and it’s not good.”

The small animal got caught in a section of the river and couldn’t get out.

“Sometimes you get mysteries and sometimes you get an answer, and sometimes you don’t but that’s your answer,” Amanda told her daughters.

“This poor little newborn lamb.”

Nancy asked: “That’s very sad isn’t it, mum?”

Amanda explained: “What will have happened, can you see the mum had her lamb there?

“She had a nice drink of water and her newborn lamb…

“Just fell into the water,” Nancy finished for her, “It would be good if it was still alive.”

“Of course it would be much better if it was still alive,” Amanda told her.

Clemmy commented: “Everything has to die.”

“You’re right. Everything. It’s just a shame because it didn’t have much of a life, did it?” Amanda said to her kids.

She explained: “They have to have a good understanding of life and death you can’t cloak that one, unfortunately.

“You can’t sideline that one, you can’t dwell on it, you can’t get rid of the rivers.”

Clemmy observed: “If there was no river, the sheep couldn’t drink. And it’s very complicated.”

Amanda and Clive Owen shot to fame in 2011 after appearing on ITV series The Dales with Ade Edmondson.

They were also ­featured on Julia Bradbury’s Coast to Coast, and New Lives In The Wild with Ben Fogle.
