Animals from a farm in north Hampshire are starring in a US fashion catalogue.

A lamb and a goat from Miller's ark in Hook near Basingstoke have found fame stateside following a three-day fashion shoot in Devon.

The ark - which is an interactive farm - was founded by Elizabeth Miller thirty-one years ago. She said:

"We met up with some lovely people who filmed, particularly one of our little lambs called Bob and one of our little goats called Aladdin, and yes after three days of hard work being put in different places and different positions and trying to get it right we're there in the Gucci fashion magazine."

It seems Bob and Aladdin are not the only animals at the ark who enjoy the showbiz lifestyle. Elizabeth says because the animals are all so used to human contact they're natural performers:

"They're very happy to be taken into different situations and indeed find it stimulating and enjoyable. We've had a pig in the Marvel movie 'The black widow' we've presently got some animals in 'Lovely little farm' which is streaming on Apple TV, and we've had various things like a Turkey on Eastenders, Blue Peter ,Teletubbies!"

The ark is currently holding its summer holiday open days you can find out more here: https://www.millersark.co.uk/
