Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive, and Kids wrapped up its final episode earlier this week, with a new replacement set to hit All4 in its primetime slot.
The Owen family 's journey on Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive, and Kids reached its conclusion earlier this week. The clan made significant headway in their refurbishment of Anty John's abode.
Amanda Owen confirmed there remains a long road ahead to see the renovation through to completion. As the episode wrapped up, it was revealed that the family are pressing on with the project, with Amanda confirming they were "forging ahead."

"We're really on to the next stage," announced the mum-of-nine. In the programme's final moments, viewers were treated to an image of the house with all the workers gathered outside. The screen then displayed the message 'To Be continued...'

While fans may be saddened by the series ending, they can look forward to a new offering hosted by Matt Baker. According to the TV listings, Matt Baker's British Isles will fill the 9pm Tuesday slot on More4, taking over from Our Farm Next Door, Gloucestershire Live reports.
The synopsis for the first episode reads: "Matt Baker explores the four nations of the UK. In this first episode, he heads to Kent to meet the Englishman teaming up with one of the world's most prestigious champagne houses to realise a dream of making the first true Anglo-French sparkling wine. In the Highlands, Matt meets two ex-farmers whose lives are entwined with the village of Crathie's church."

The second instalment of Our Farm Next Door continued to document Amanda and the Owen family's efforts in managing Ravenseat Farm while converting Anty John's into their ideal dwelling.
Amanda reflected on the collective effort involved, stating: "I think we've developed quite a camaraderie, really. It's a huge learning curve, and every one of the people who worked on a project has their own speciality in what they do.

"She marvelled at the collaborative spirit, adding: "Getting all that to come together, it's been amazing. It's meant that the children particularly have been able to follow this project and see it and learn.
"Concluding her thoughts, she remarked: "No, it's not your average project. The fact is that you can't even get here half the time with your vehicle, and you have to walk in!"
Amanda also highlighted the challenges faced during the project: "We've had all these horrible weather conditions, no amenities. You can't even scroll on your phone at dinnertime! Nothing works, that's a big ask."

Also in the recent airing of Our Farm Next Door, Amanda was been faced with a poignant truth about life at Ravenseat. The Owen family was met with a blanket of snow encasing Ravenseat Farm.
While the children revelled in the winter wonderland, Amanda and Clive disclosed their worries concerning their sheep.

Clive expressed his trepidations, saying, "January and February were funny months, and anything could happen. That Beast from the East was quite nasty. The kids were little, and we had no electricity for a week."
Discussing the harsh realities of farming life, he added, "You know, everybody gets a little bit of snow, but it can be absolutely unbelievable here, and you've got to be careful, otherwise it'll have you out of business."
Amanda contributed her perspective: "When that snow hits, it can be exhausting. It can be exhausting mentally and physically. Day one, day two, yeah, it is fun, day four, five, six, seven, and beyond, it is a real test.".

Isle of Man TT 2025: Schedule, results, race times, live stream & TV channel as iconic race RETURNS

THE Isle of Man TT is back THIS WEEK as some of Britain's top riders race around country lanes at 130mph! Dubbed by many as the 'world's most dangerous race', the iconic course has claimed the lives of 270 people since its first edition in 1907. 2 Last year, Northern Irish legend Michael Dunlop broke the record for most wins on the course and is back for more this time around. Dunlop broke uncle Joey's record of 26 last year with FOUR wins out of seven to take his overall tally to an incredible 29. There has already been huge drama in the qualifying section with Peter Hickman involved in a major crash. Hickman is one of the most recognisable faces in the Isle of Man TT and has won 14 races in the last five events. The BMW rider has since been released from hospital but will not participate in this year's racing. Here's everything you need to know for the week ahead. What is the Isle of Man TT? The annual event sees professional and semi-professional riders race around the Isle of Man in a time-trial. The 'TT' in the name stands for Tourist Trophy, rather than time trial. Anyone from any country can apply to race as long as they have a valid National Entrants or FIM Sponsors Licence for Road Racing, plus a driver's licence. Last week was the qualifying section and this week is the racing. There are six main events - the Senior TT, Supersport TT, Superbike TT, Superstock TT, Supertwin TT and Sidecar TT - with all roads on the island closed between 9am and 5pm. The Senior TT is the main attraction and has almost run continuously since 1911. It was not held due to World War I (1915-19) and World War II (1940-46), then because of foot and mouth disease in 2001, bad weather in 2012 and Covid-19 in 2020 and 2021. Davey Todd won the race last year.

The 2025 Isle of Man TT will not be broadcast live on any TV. Instead, race fans will need to purchase TT+ which costs £23.99 for full coverage of every race, plus behind-the-scenes access and in-depth analysis. TT+ can be live streamed via the website on any compatible device. Alternatively, ITV4 has nightly highlights every day at 9pm. What is the prize money for the Isle of Man TT? The total prize money for the 2025 Isle of Man TT sits at £353,115, which is a large increase from last year. The prize pots are as follows: Senior TT - £88,725 Superbike TT - £65,100 Supersport TT per race (2) - £29,820 Sidecar TT per race (2) - £24,675 Superstock TT per race (2) - £24,675 Supertwin TT per race (2) - £20,475 Who has won the most Isle of Man TT races? Michael Dunlop is the most successful rider at the Isle of Man TT. He won four races in 2024 to take his overall tally to 29. The Northern Irishman had been trailing his legendary uncle, Joey, heading into last year's event - Joey had won 26. Michael's four wins in 2024 added to his four wins in 2023.

My mum's being scammed by AI deepfake of ‘Owen Wilson' who paid her £7 to ‘prove' his identity – would you fall for it?

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN is seeking help after noticing her mum fall for an AI deepfake scam of Owen Wilson. The woman was sure it was easy to spot it was fake, but can you tell from watching the video above? Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 The mum was convinced she now had the actor as an online friend Credit: Getty 4 Can you spot what's wrong with the video? Credit: Reddit 4 The Hollywood actor is currently filming in Australia Credit: Getty The unnamed woman took to Reddit, revealing both she and her sister had failed to convince her mum that the man she was chatting to was not the real actor. According to her mum, she had met Owen while playing an online game of Yahtzee. She decided to share the AI deepfake video her mum had been sent by 'Owen Wilson' with the title 'Owen Wilson befriended my mother.' The Reddit user said she tried to convince her mum that it was the work of artificial intelligence after finding a 'plethora of red flags', such as the man mainly contacting her mother via WhatsApp voice calls. In the 10-second clip, the robotic image of a man resembling Owen Wilson seemed to speak directly to the poster's mother. "I'm making this video so you know I'm real," said the 'scam' actor. "I'd never do anything to hurt you. I respect you for your patience and understanding since we crossed paths. You're an amazing woman." Some viewers were quick to point out that the video looked off, with the image never making eye contact. Things had taken a weirder turn when he offered a 'job' with Warner Bros and paid her £7 for her work. The daughter added: "He 'got her a job' with Warner Bros where she can make $5000 a month but liking social media posts. The job has sent her a couple $10 payments through Cashapp for her first trainings. "She says they'll send her $1,000 through CashApp when she finishes training." The 'fake' Owen Wilson then proposed that the poster's parents move into a new house he bought so that they could keep watch as 'caretakers' while he was away working. 4 Her daughter was eager to show her mum it wasn't real Credit: Reddit Fears AI will destroy entire justice system by sending innocent people to JAIL with fake CCTV evidence & deepfakes Currently, the 56-year-old is in Australia filming his latest action thriller, Runner. She added: "He's now buying a house in our small coastal town & wants her AND MY DAD to live there & be caretakers when he's not there. He had an actual realtor from this gated community call her to discuss their options. "We believe this part because the realtor mentioned my sister in law's mother's uncommon name(we have no connection to her on social media) when my mother brought up my brother's wedding reception being held in the neighborhood." How to protect yourself from scams BY keeping these tips in mind, you can avoid getting caught up in a scam: Firstly, remember that if something seems too good to be true, it normally is. Check brands are "verified" on Facebook and Twitter pages - this means the company will have a blue tick on its profile. Look for grammatical and spelling errors; fraudsters are notoriously bad at writing proper English. If you receive a message from a 'friend' informing you of a freebie, consider whether it's written in your friend's normal style. If you're invited to click on a URL, hover over the link to see the address it will take you to – does it look genuine? To be on the really safe side, don't click on unsolicited links in messages, even if they appear to come from a trusted contact. Be careful when opening email attachments too. Fraudsters are increasingly attaching files, usually PDFs or spreadsheets, which contain dangerous malware. If you receive a suspicious message then report it to the company, block the sender and delete it. If you think you've fallen for a scam, report it to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or use its online fraud reporting tool. She concluded her post by asking fellow users for advice to prove to her mum it was a scam. One person wrote: "Wow that's scary, you can tell the tone is off and robotic. Face also looks slightly different than Owen but wow, that's crazy for someone who wouldn't know any better." Another commented: 'Jesus Christ. What a frustrating situation. Be careful not to alienate her. It can make these situations more difficult." "Tell her to watch his nose lol," penned a third. Meanwhile, a fourth said: "This AI doesn't even use the lady's name at all, just generic "compliments" to keep the target complacent. Wonder how many targets they've sent this to that the celebrity "really" loves them. Don't trust online, meet in real life and then judge based on that meeting." "It's not Owen Wilson. As mentioned elsewhere, the voice is robotic and look at his face. He's all over the place and he never called her by her name. Because the scammer had another 1000 victims to play,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'This is wild! Gosh, keep looking out for her. It's unfortunate how advanced these scams have gotten." Fabulous will pay for your exclusive stories.

BBC presenter Amanda Byram 'refuses to be shamed' for having a baby at 51

Former Total Wipeout presenter Amanda Byram has defended her decision to have a second child at the age of 51 TV presenter Amanda Byram has opened up about becoming a mother again at the age of 51, and says she "refuses to be shamed" for having a baby later in life. The former Total Wipeout and Big Breakfast host spoke about how her second son, Jett, was born earlier this year after a decades-long fertility journey that involved IVF and multiple miscarriages. In a first-person piece for the Daily Mail, she told readers: "In January this year, after 30 hours of sucking in Royal Sussex County Hospital's finest gas and air, at 51 I finally had the family I'd dreamt of. My second son, Jett, was a month premature, but he felt years overdue." ‌ ‌ Amanda began freezing her eggs at 40, met her husband Julian at 41, and the pair welcomed their first child, Phoenix, shortly after her 49th birthday. When their first boy was two years old, they decided they wanted to try again. Although both pregnancies were healthy and largely uneventful, she explained that the couple chose to keep them secret to avoid publicly going through possible disappointment after facing many fertility setbacks. When she announced Phoenix's birth three years ago, Amanda was initially showered with love and support, but the presenter was soon hit with online criticism for having a child at her age. One commenter exclaimed: "There's no way she gave birth to this child!" Others accused her of being selfish or predicted her children would suffer because of her age. "Fast-forward 20 years: a young man on the cusp of adulthood with two dead parents," another wrote. "I'm sorry but that's just a fact." Amanda said the most painful criticism came from fellow mothers, which left her questioning whether to even share her age at all with other parents at playgroups or parks. ‌ However, she has now embraced being an older mum and decided to speak out against judgements made based on her age. She shared: "I refuse to waste time worrying about what other people think, and even less worrying about what might happen 20 or 30 years from now. "Finally I have maturity and wisdom – and these outstrip any traits I possessed in my younger years." Amanda added that she stays healthy and doesn't drink or smoke, which she believes will give her many happy years with her kids. Beyond staying in shape, the BBC star wants to focus on what she can control: loving her children unconditionally and helping them grow into confident, compassionate adults. She defiantly hit back at naysayers, writing: "I might be a silver-haired lady when I collect my kids from primary school, but I'll be proud of every single strand. "If we don't speak up, how can we expect change? The keyboard critics will win, while society will continue to question and condemn the women who – for one reason or a million others – left it late to start a family."
