Adam Henson Reflects on Wife’s Cancer Ordeal, Family Life and Farm Plans

He credits a strong support network for his resilience.

Overview

  • In interviews published November 9, the Countryfile presenter recounted wife Charlie’s 2020 pancreatic cancer diagnosis and her life‑saving surgery shortly after their 2021 wedding.
  • He said he has not experienced poor mental health, citing a supportive family and close colleagues while calling for greater focus on farmers’ wellbeing.
  • The couple, together for more than three decades, have adult children Alfie and Ella and recently brought home a second Hungarian Wirehaired Vizsla, Olive, after another dog died from cancer.
  • Henson runs Bemborough Farm/Cotswold Farm Park, which he says attracts around 70,000 visitors annually, and he plans to move to a nearby bungalow when his tenancy ends in 12 years.
  • He is set to appear on BBC One’s Countryfile this evening, with segments on the Young Countryside Champion finalists and this year’s harvest challenges.
