Our Yorkshire Farm’s Amanda Owen has revealed how her relationship with ex-husband Clive is bearing up after their split in 2022.
The More4 series Our Farm Next Door has seen Owen, 50, and ex-husband Clive, 69, reunite to build a legacy for their nine children.
The original Channel 5 series, Our Yorkshire Farm, followed the family’s life on Ravenseat farm and ended in 2022 when Owen and Clive called it quits on their 22-year-long marriage.
In Our Farm Next Door, the couple have come together again to rebuild the neighbouring farmhouse, Anty John’s, to establish a permanent family home.
The project has not been easy, with struggles including the regular challenges of farming, construction delays and Clive’s “serious” health issues.
However, Owen was overjoyed to be in the “final stage” of essential structural work on Anty John’s as she reflected on her relationship with Clive.
“Co-working with Clive, we’re just getting on with it,” the Yorkshire Shepherdess revealed in Monday’s instalment as she and daughter Edith cleared rubble with pickaxes in the farmhouse.
Clive, watched the pair work, however, which seemed to irritate Owen.
“You’re desperate to do this, aren’t you? To show me how it’s done?” she snapped.
Clive responded with a chuckle: “You know how the b***** it’s done.”
Remarking on her relationship with Clive, Owen revealed they were “still bickering, still arguing” regularly.
However, she also surmised: “That’s how it’s always been. Nothing’s changed really, it really hasn’t.”
“Same old, same old really,” the Yorkshire Shepherdess concluded with a sigh.
“I know what you’re like!” Owen exclaimed as she brushed away the hovering Clive.
The 50-year-old turned to her daughter, warning: “It’s a man thing, Edith.”
“It’s kind of like mansplaining, with a pickaxe,” she said.

Despite the bickering, Owen restated her goal of turning Anty John’s into a forever home for her and Clive’s nine children.
Turning to Edith, she promised the hard work would seem like a “distant memory” when she and her eight siblings sit comfortably in the farmhouse with their feet against the fire.
