During shooting in Ringland on Friday, Yvonne, who works on set, spotted a baby hedgehog scuttling under one of their trucks.
This made her concerned for the little hedgehog's welfare and she called out to someone on the shoot who knows about animal welfare. warning signs of hedgehog sickness.
The first thing Yvonne was told is that baby hedgehogs are called piglets.
The unnamed hero had previously rescued over 500 hedgehogs and piglets and told crew members the piglet is out in the day and that is probably a sign of illness and that the piglet likely needed urgent care and attention.
The hedgehog hero immediately saw to it that the piglet was put in a cardboard box, kept warm, undisturbed and offered some cat food, not milk!
Raj, From Elevate Security, takes up the story: 'He was spotted at the back of the truck and made his way to the front, where he was rescued.
"He was put in a box to keep warm and safe and then escaped. He's a real runner!'

Raj suggested calling the piglet Harry, after Harry Houdini, the magician and escapologist, following Harry's box-busting antics.
Using contacts in the hedgehog rescue community, the crew's hedgehog angel rang for a place at a rescue centre in Caerphilly, which sadly was full.
However, the British Hedgehog Preservation Society was able to secure a hedgehog hospital place at a sanctuary in Merthyr Tydfil.
As Harry was kept safe and then taken to hospital, the Ringland section of the shoot continued without any further hedgehog interruptions.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HE has never played Glasto but that did not stop Harry Styles turning up as a punter ready to party – dressed down in a blue trackie top. The former One Direction man was hard at it until around 6am yesterday at the Somerset festival's happening party district Block9.

A source said: 'Harry knows how to party and was loving the vibe at the festival. "He was seen sporting big shades and drinking backstage with pals, and was catching up with Olivia following her set. 'Harry has been spending lots of time in Germany at Berlin nightclub Berghain getting plenty of practice at late nights at Glasto.' 'Low profile' Actor James Norton and new lover Lily Allen were also spotted partying at Block9, alongside actress Anya Taylor-Joy and singer Lorde — who also performed on Friday. Earlier in the day Harry was seen hugging friends in the festival's VIP area. He then headed off to The Other Stage with a group of pals to see Franz Ferdinand play and stayed on to watch Gracie Abrams. An onlooker said: 'Harry was saying how excited he was to be at the festival and was hoping to go as incognito as possible so he could enjoy the music. 'He was politely declining having photos taken with fans, as he wanted to keep a low profile and not draw too much attention.' Meanwhile, Harry's former One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson has also been spotted at Worthy Farm — checking out the music with his Love Islander girlfriend Zara McDermott. Sophie Turner confirms she's reunited with aristocrat boyfriend two months after splitting as they cosy up at Glastonbury A source said: 'Glastonbury is huge but Harry and Louis are bound to bump into each other in the VIP area at some point.' So it's a 1D reunion — sort of — at Glasto. 10 Actress Anya Taylor-Joy was among the celebrities spotted at Worthy Farm Credit: BackGrid 10 Singer Lily Allen was spotted wearing boots and shades at the festival Credit: Getty 10 Zara McDermott had a serious reason to attend Glastonbury - in addition to enjoying the music Credit: Sarah Roberts ZARA McDERMOTT did her bit for charity before enjoying the festival. The former Love Island star spoke on The Information stage with domestic abuse organisation Refuge and urged men to call out their friends when sexist jokes go too far. Zara said: 'I have seen boys' group chats, which are so misogynistic and sometimes downright abusive. Boys and men are scared to call each other out. 'They laugh along because it's easier. Just because it's easy doesn't mean it's right.' Boyfriend Louis Tomlinson watched from the crowd. It's brat pack for Denise 10 Denise Welch shared a selfie alongside singer Charli XCX Credit: instagram/denisewelch LOOSE Women's Denise Welch got a taste of brat as she posed with Charli XCX at Worthy Farm. She shared a selfie with the singer before her son Matty Healy headlined the Pyramid Stage with The 1975. It came after the TV star spotted a green flag mimicking Charli's Brat album – with the words 'Denise Welch'. Sharing the selfie next to Charli, who's engaged to 1975 drummer George Daniel, on Insta, Denise wrote: 'Talking about my Brat flag.' Ex-Corrie star Denise also hung out with Matty's fiancee and Charli's BFF Gabbriette backstage. Looks like Denise is part of a new girl gang. Matty's peace of mind 10 Matty Healy said it was a deliberate decision to leave politics out of The 1975's set Credit: Alamy THE 1975 frontman Matty Healy preached love to fans during the band's headline set on the Pyramid Stage. Pausing between songs to address the crowd on Friday night, he said: 'The lack of politics in this show, it is a conscious decision. 'We don't want our legacy to be one of politics – we want it to be that of love and friendship. 'You go out into the world and there is loads of politics. We don't need more, we need more love and friendship. 'If you are a young kid and inspired about this band, aspire for friendship and love in what you do and you will never fail – and I love you.' Jade on fur the first time 10 Jade Thirlwall wore a gigantic fur hat on stage for her first ever Glastonbury performance Credit: Getty 10 Former Little Mix star Jade did not keep the hat on the entire time in the searing heat Credit: Getty THE heat was no sweat for Jade Thirlwall as she donned a gigantic fur hat on stage for her first Glastonbury performance. As well as belting out her own hits, the singer also performed some Little Mix hits, including Shout Out To My Ex and Touch. She was cheered on by her fella Jordan Stephens, who played the day before with his band Rizzle Kicks. Growing emotional when she sang her track Angel Of My Dreams, she thanked the crowd and said: 'I can't believe I'm here.' Veterans Pulp far from patchy 10 Pulp made their return to Glastonbury on Saturday night on the Pyramid Stage Credit: Getty IN one of the worst-kept secrets on Worthy Farm, Pulp finally made their appearance on Glasto's Pyramid Stage on Saturday night. The band had been billed as 'Patchwork' to keep their identity under wraps. Opening with 1995 hit Sorted For E's and Wizz and Disco 2000, frontman Jarvis Cocker said that the set marked a special anniversary. He said: 'My name is Jarvis and this is Pulp – sorry for people who were expecting Patchwork. Did you know we were going to play? How? Psychic? 'Those two songs we just played – Sorted For E's and Wizz and Disco 2000 – were first played on this stage 30 years and four days ago. 'It was the very first time we played them. You could say they were born in Glastonbury.' After Pulp's set, the Red Arrows flew over the Pyramid Stage. Now that's finishing on a high.

Meghan Markle's awkward Prince Andrew blunder that left Prince Harry perplexed
Meghan Markle had several memorable first meetings with members of the Royal Family when she first started dating Prince Harry - but her first encounter with Prince Andrew left her confused Meghan Markle made an awkward blunder after meeting Prince Andrew - with Prince Harry admitting she asked a perplexing question about him. In the early days of their romance, Harry had to introduce Meghan to all of his royal relatives, including the now King Charles, Prince William and his wife Kate. But Meghan's biggest meeting came when she was introduced to her now husband's late grandmother the Queen - but it seems the meeting left her confused. In the Channel 5 documentary, The Battle For Royal Lodge - Andrew vs Charles, experts recount the story that was revealed in Harry's controversial memoir. In it, Harry recalls Meghan's first meeting with his late grandmother, which came at his Uncle Andrew's home Royal Lodge that he shares with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, who had to teach Meghan how to curtsy at the last minute. However at the end of the get together, Harry revealed that Meghan asked a telling question about his uncle, - and even thought he might not be a relative. Explaining how the Queen got up to leave after her chat with Meghan, Harry wrote: "My uncle Andrew, seated beside her, holding her handbag, began to escort her out. "After a moment Meg asked me something about the Queen's assistant. I asked who she was talking about." When she replied "the man who walked her to the door," the penny dropped for the prince who realised she had meant the Queen's second son. Andrew no longer takes part in public life following a car crash interview on BBC Newsnight about his connections to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. He was also later stripped of his military affiliations and royal patronages with the approval of his mother, the late Queen. Andrew is now locked in a bitter dispute with his brother, King Charles, over him continuing to live at the 30 room mansion Royal Lodge in the shadow of Windsor Castle, despite major repairs being needed on the property. The King even offered Andrew, who was forced to step back from all royal duties, the chance to move into the four bedroom Frogmore Cottage, previously owned by Prince Harry and his wife Meghan that would be more manageable. But the disgraced Duke has insisted on staying put, claiming he will be able to pay the estimated £2million renovation fees desperately needed. Royal sources suggest the so-called 'Siege of Royal Lodge' has led to a drastic state of relations between the King and Andrew. Andrew has told close friends he is 'going nowhere' and told the King and the Crown Estate who own Royal Lodge, that he has a 'cast iron lease' that he signed for 75 years in 2002.
