Mary Berry attacked by a goat as she tries to milk it on her BBC TV show
Mary Berry was caught in a tussle with a goat on her BBC cookery programme as she attempted to milk it.
The latest episode of her series Mary Berry Everyday saw her take her daughter Annabel and granddaughter Atalanta to learn how to get the milk from the goat and turn it into cheese.
Her granddaughter had no problems getting the creature to be compliant as she milked it.
But as Berry took to the stool, the animal raised its hind legs in protest.

Mary Berry attempting to milk a goat is the most random thing I've seen in a while.

On another attempt, the goat hastily made a retreat as Berry moved towards its udder.
"Granny's lost her goat," she laughs with her granddaughter in the programme.
The television cook, 82, kept her cool throughout the incident. Eventually a replacement goat was brought onto set, with which Berry had much more success.
However, she did require a top-up of goats milk to make her cheese.
She explained at the beginning of the segment: "We kept goats during the war which my mother used to milk.
"But the one thing we never did was to make cheese, so all this is rather new to me."

Berry has consistently made headlines with the BBC Two series, which has seen her share a controversial bolognese recipe and make a pie with no base.
In another episode she shocked viewers by admitting she had never ordered a takeaway pizza, before proceeding to eat the Italian classic with a knife and fork.
