Springwatch viewers fume as show airs gruesome scenes with 'no warning'
Springwatch viewers were left in shock after the BBC Two programme showed gruesome scenes without giving any warning Springwatch viewers have been left fuming after the show failed to warn them before airing gruesome scenes on the BBC Two show. The episode saw hosts Chris Packham and Dancing on Ice star Michaela Strachan update fans on a short-eared owl's nest, but things took a turn for the worst when one chick was "pecked to death" by its sibling. Addressing Springwatch viewers, Michaela said: "It seems like they were all being fed, and just yesterday I was saying that one was doing well. But I'm afraid in that nest things took a turn for the worst." Michaela admitted the team was "really surprised" upon telling viewers how one chick ate its sibling in "shocking" scenes. However, viewers were left horrified when the show went straight into the clip without any warning. "As you can see, that little one became week and defenceless, and that stronger sibling took complete advantage and started pecking at the younger one who was still alive." Apologising that it was hard to watch Michaela continued: "It pecked it to death. That was really surprising to us, because as Chris said they were fed four times." Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one shocked fan wrote: "Really dont think they should have shown the owl being eaten alive #Springwatch." Another said: "Got to love #Springwatch. Just watched my first 5 minutes of this series and I've already seen one short eared owl chick peck a sibling to death and eat it's cadaver," as a third commented: "Baby owl eating its sibling alive ffs . Give us a 5 minute warning next time." It comes shortly after the show k icked off its 20th anniversary series. The show broadcasted from a new location, in the picturesque Peak District. Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan introduced the first episode on May 26 with a nostalgic montage of clips featuring familiar faces, including Kate Humble and Bill Oddie, from the show's debut in 2005. To celebrate two decades on air, the show introduced a new feature, Springwatch Street, which delves into the secret lives of urban wildlife, showcasing the thriving populations of foxes and swifts in city environments. Fans were overjoyed with the anniversary series, with many taking to X, formerly known as Twitter to share their delight. Others were more focused on Chris' Oasis style bucket hat. To go along with the theme, the host peppered his opening segment with Oasis puns, teasing viewers that they were in for a treat: "You'll want to be here now as we're about to bring you the Champagne supernova of wildlife TV, starting tonight." "@ChrisGPackham clearly on an Oasis kick tonight," penned one follower, as others begged him to break out into song. "Oasis songs then Chris?" questioned one, as another said: "Some might say that Chris is naming Oasis songs."

The ITV star looked deep in conversation during the chat. Advertisement He wore navy trousers, a pale grey zip-up jumper and a Callaway cap with grey and black trainers. Freddy was just four, and his EastEnders actor brother Bobby five, when their mother Jade Goody died from cervical cancer in 2009.

It is the latest development in Freddy and Jeff's bitter row NEW BLOW Freddy Brazier takes a swipe at dad Jeff's wife in list of things 'he hates' and confirms he's moved back in with nan FREDDY Brazier has hit out at his dad Jeff's wife Kate in a scathing attack on things he "hates". The 20-year-old is currently embroiled in a heated war with TV star Jeff over his nan Jackiey Budden, 68. 7 Freddy Brazier has included 'step parents' in a list of things he 'hates' Credit: TikTok/@fredbrazier04 7 His TV star dad Jeff married his publicist wife Kate in 2018 Credit: Instagram 7 Kate became Freddy's step mum when he was 13 years old Credit: katebrazierpr/Instagram In his latest swipe, Freddy has confirmed he is now living with Jackiey in South London and included "step parents" in a list of things he "hates". Writing on TikTok, Freddy said: "I hate a whole load of things." Along with "step parents", he wrote over a picture of himself and Jackiey: "My over thinking, bullies, I'm easily manipulated, my family issues." Freddy, who's Big Brother star mum Jade Goody died from cervical cancer in 2009, also included: "Cancer." Alarmingly, he also included a string of references to his appearance, including his "big lips, nose, teeth" and said he "hates looking in the mirror". Freddy told his TikTok followers: "I don't know how to love because I've never been loved." Writing in the comments section, one person replied: "You're perfect as you are Freddy and have people around you who love you. "Life gets hard and dark at times but try to focus on the things you love and how lucky you are." Another added: "Sending you a big hug Freddy. I hope you find your peace and happiness.

Freddy has also used the social media platform to confirm to a friend from boxing that he is now living with his gran Jackiey. Freddy Brazier defies dad Jeff to post new TikTok with nan Jackiey after legal action and 'weed smoking' row "Your doing well lil champ. I'm up in Southeast London, now fighting in Putney living in Bermondsey. I'll come down soon message me when you got a fight lil sis," he wrote. The admission came just a day after it was reported that Freddy had spent the last week staying with Jackiey in Bermondsey. Jeff, 46, recently launched legal action to block Jackiey - Jade's mother - from seeing his youngest son. Freddy was just four, and his EastEnders actor brother Bobby five, when Jade died from cancer. The Big Brother legend was just 27 when she passed away and the two boys were then raised by their dad. Jeff married publicist Kate in 2018, when Freddy and Bobby were in their early teens. Long-running feud Jackiey and Jeff have clashed several times over the years before The Sun on Sunday revealed that the former Dancing on Ice contestant had taken legal action following concerns for Freddy's wellbeing. The Sun On Sunday has since published footage and photos of Freddy smoking a suspicious looking cigarette with Jackiey in London. The pair were close to Tower Bridge and were in full view of tourists at the time. Since then, Freddy has continued to dismiss Jeff's concerns about him spending time with his nan. He has shared a TikTok of them dancing in Jackiey's garden, along with a string of photos - including one of them together - declaring: "Home is where the heart is." A source told The Mail this week: "Jeff was never going to keep Freddy away from his Nanny for very long – they've always had a strong bond. "Jeff may hate her for all sorts of reasons going back many years, but Freddy loves her very much. "They had a great time together, playing with her dog and catching up at her flat – where he has often stayed over the years.
