However, Lisa brought some cheer with her latest Instagram post, featuring a video of the playful pups being weighed, as they squirmed and frolicked.

As she gently lifted each puppy, she affectionately remarked, "You're so sweet and gentle," reports Gloucestershire Live.

Her caption read: "Day 13 and it's puppy weigh in day. I weigh them every 3 days, and happy to report, they are all gaining weight and wobbling around on their legs.

"Comparison between Mr White (biggest) and Lady Lemon (tiny) is at the end, sorry, it's a long vid as I couldn't cut any pups out!"

Fans were quick to react, with one commenting: "Ah so so sweet look at them."

Another exclaimed: "Gosh they are so cute!!!"

A concerned fan added: "They are all so adorable. Please look after little Lady Lemon, she is so cute."

And another follower shared: "Puppies are a wild ride! Incredible to watch how fast they grow and their little personalities develop. Puppy breath is the best medicine!"

Fans have been swooning over the new additions at Diddly Squat Farm, with one person commenting: "They look so lovely and lucky to have Diddly Squat to roam around," while another complimented: "They look so cute your doing an amazing job, Lisa xx."

Clarkson had announced that Arya had given birth earlier this month, revealing that while the rest of the nation were celebrating England's Lionesses winning the Euros, the stars of Clarkson's Farm were more preoccupied at home.

In a clip shared to Instagram, he said: "Now I know you've all been enjoying the football, but I've been rather busy if I'm honest. Because look what Arya's done."

He then panned the camera to reveal the adorable puppies laying beside Arya suckling and squealing.

"Yay! I mean well done Lionesses but really, really, really well done Arya."

Lisa had earlier shared a similar video of the newborns, as she whispered "Well done" to their beloved dog.

"Well done Arya, our lioness of 11 and to all the other champion Lionesses!! Quite the Sunday victory," she wrote in the caption.

Clarkson then revealed in the comments that he played midwife, clarifying one follower who wrote: "Well done Arya and Lisa (who I'm sure was midwife!)" He replied: "Actually, I was!"

"Is there anything Mr C can't do?" one fan said, while another added: "You're now a vet as well as a farmer. The list gets bigger."

However, the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? presenter later revealed that one of the pups had died amid an "awful" few days, while Lisa shared a video in which she stroked Arya, writing: "Sad news this morning. Mr Grey has gone to fur and feather land."

"Poor Mr Grey, I'm sorry darling," she whispered.

As well as that tragedy, the farm is now closed for some time because of bovine TB, with Clarkson announcing in a sombre update: "Bad news from Diddly Squat. We've gone down with TB. Everyone here is absolutely devastated."

"We're now locked down and it's just dreadful, absolutely dreadful," he later added, confirming Diddly Squat will be shut for at least two months before they can do another test, though the farm shop would remain "unaffected" by the lockdown.

Clarkson's Farm is available to watch on Amazon Prime Video.
