A litter of piglets whose bacon was saved from a barn fire has been served up as dinner to the firefighters who rescued them.
The animals were given a six-month stay of execution when they were rescued from the farm at Milton Lilbourne.
But, having been reared for meat, they were then slaughtered and delivered as sausages to the fire station team, which barbecued them.
Ms Rivers defended the gift, saying farming is her livelihood and way of life.
