In the hilarious clip, Jilly the sow can be seen opening the gate to her pen and ushering out her eleven excitable piglets, who promptly make a run for it around the barn while staff were busy elsewhere.

To their amazement, workers in the farm's office watched the whole escapade unfold on CCTV as the clever mum orchestrated the perfect escape. Under Jilly’s watchful eye, the tiny troupe explored the barn's public facilities, clearly making the most of their great escape.
