Countryfile's Adam Henson, 58, has been a staple on the show since 2001, giving viewers a glimpse into life on his Farm Park in the Cotswolds. Joseph Leslie "Joe" Henson, MBE, a farmer who founded the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, sadly passed away in 2015 at the age of 82 after a battle with cancer, reports the Express. Adam's father Joe was kept a secret as a baby due to a scandal that could have ruined Leslie's career, and he revealed this in a letter towards the end of his life.
