Craig Wiggins is going to miss his role as compere for the Young Farmer of the Year Competition.

Craig 'Wiggy' Wiggins chats to Dom George today about his departure from the Young Farmer of the Year Competition as they have decided to go in another direction.

Wiggins has been the Young Farmers compère for six years and will miss the event saying it "leaves a big hole in my heart".

On a more positive note Craig has been watching the Olympics, especially the equestrian events which he knows a thing or two about.

Speaking of positivity, Wiggy reckons we need a lot more of it in how rural life is portrayed in the media.

Finally - what's does the future have in store for Craig 'Wiggy' Wiggins?
