Amanda Owen gathers whole family for 'momentous' home update
Amanda Owen said it was "momentous" as she gathered her family for an important announcement during the final episode of Our Farm Next Door The much-loved reality show Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids rounded off its second series on Tuesday. First gracing screens in 2018, Our Yorkshire Farm shares the unique lifestyle of Clive and Amanda Owen alongside their nine children on their secluded sheep farm in Yorkshire. Amanda and Clive are parents to nine children: Raven, Reuben, Miles, Edith, Violet, Sidney, Annas, Clementine, and Nancy. The popular documentary series wrapped up in 2022 following Amanda and Clive's separation. Still captivating audiences, the Owens have returned with the next chapter of their lives in Our Farm Next Door, charting the family's adventures as they renovate a historic farmhouse nestled in the idyllic countryside of the Yorkshire Dales. The 1800s property is located in Swaledale near Ravenseat Farm and it is named Anty John after a former owner called Anthony John Clarkson, reports Leeds Live. In the closing episode of series two on Tuesday evening, Amanda brought the whole clan together to reveal the latest developments in their ongoing renovation after 20 months of hard work. Even in the middle of the busy lambing season, Amanda found time for her family to gather at Anty John's and reflect, commenting: "There's a lot going on but we have managed to make time today to gather everybody, the whole family, to come to Anty John's. So this is quite momentous really. "There's a little bit more warmth, things are greening up a little bit, so it's all about new life and new starts and all the rest of it. So I guess that ties in very nicely with Anty John's as that's certainly a new beginning." As the family came together for an outdoor picnic on their land, Clive remarked: "Ay, it looks well now, doesn't it?" while conversing with Richard, Kelly, and David who were also present at the property. Reflecting on the journey, Amanda mused: "I suppose to reflect really on how far we've got and how far we've got to go", acknowledging that the restoration process has been a "huge learning curve". In the midst of this reflection, there was light-hearted banter about whether the estate would fall into ruin once more, prompting Amanda to firmly retort: "No it will not ever be a ruin again, if Reuben moves in, yes it will become a ruin again!" Looking towards the future, Amanda revealed her plans: "Work is continuing and we're forging ahead, it's like we're nearly onto the next stage. Once we've got the plaster on and the floor done, there's no reason why some of this stuff [the furniture] can't go up there", asking for her daughters' help in styling the property. At the close of the episode, a Channel 4 teaser left viewers in suspense with the message "to be continued..." etched across the screen.

Reuben Owen opens up on meeting new girlfriend ahead of series debut
Reuben Owen has opened up about his relationship with girlfriend Jessica Ellwood ahead of the launch of his new Channel 5 series Reuben Owen, notable from Our Yorkshire Farm, has candidly shared details about his romance with girlfriend Jessica Ellwood as they gear up for his latest Channel 5 venture. The 21-year-old found fame on the family show Our Yorkshire Farm with his parents, Amanda and Clive Owen, alongside his eight siblings. Following appearances on Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids, Reuben is set to grace TV screens again in the new series of Reuben Owen: Life in the Dales. This series will document Reuben's endeavours to establish his own enterprise with his friends' support. The upcoming second season will introduce viewers to Jessica, also 21, who will be joining her boyfriend on television for the first time. Jessica comes from a farming background similar to Reuben's, and it seems their common passion for agriculture has brought them closer together, reports Leeds Live. Speaking of their connection, Reuben revealed that their paths crossed at a Young Farmers' event, and they've been inseparable ever since. "Jess is so happy and chilled out," he expressed to the Telegraph. "We met at a Young Farmers' event, and it was the biggest stroke of luck. She's not bothered by the filming, either, which is great; the telly thing brings a bit of money into the pot, which is useful." Additionally, Reuben cannot help but laud Jessica's adeptness in agriculture, especially noting her knack for handling a digger like a pro. In an interview with the Mirror, the young farmer opened up about their bustling life amidst the pastoral setting. "Last weekend we were felling trees. In terms of our hobbies, I think digging," he remarked. "Jess is very good on the digger. She's better at driving a digger than I am milking cows." Despite his forays into television, Reuben has confessed that he has no aspirations for fame and avoids social media, choosing instead to concentrate on the farm and expanding his business. Reuben's home life is equally bustling. He is one of nine siblings, with parents Amanda and Clive, who parted ways in 2022 after two decades of marriage, also raising Raven, Miles, Edith, Violet, Sidney, Annas, Clementine, and Nancy.

Reuben Owen admits Amanda and Clive 'grew apart' as he addresses split
Reuben Owen, star of Our Yorkshire Farm, has candidly admitted: "I know how it went" as he discussed his parents' separation. Reuben, who shot to fame on Our Yorkshire Farm alongside his parents, Amanda and Clive Owen, and his siblings, now headlines his own show, Life in the Dales. Amanda and Clive, who announced their split in 2022, continue to live and work together at Ravenseat Farm. While the couple has previously discussed their split, Reuben has now given his perspective in a fresh interview. "The media still likes to dig up my parents' separation, making out there was some massive battle when there wasn't," Reuben shared with the Telegraph, reports Leeds Live. "I know how it went, and it was all very amicable. They grew apart and split up, but they are still brilliant parents, whether they're together or not." He continued: "Every now and again, there will be a headline about some little thing that has been blown up out of all proportion. But you can't be on telly and then expect people not to be interested in what you're doing off-screen." In June 2022, Amanda and Clive released a statement regarding their separation; however, in a subsequent appearance on Lorraine, Clive confessed that he "played a massive part" in the split. During the 2023 broadcast, Clive admitted: "It was amazing and successful, I handled it very badly. It was such a change in our life, and I sadly made a right mess of things basically, and I had a massive part to play in our relationship ending. "One of the things I hear is 'poor Clive' and I feel that isn't right. We filmed Our Yorkshire Farm, people loved it and the plan, Amanda's plan was we don't own the farm but this is security," he clarified. He further emphasised how fame affected them, stating: "We had this plan to make it more secure as a family so that's what drove her, it was amazing and successful. "I handled it very badly, it was such a change in our life, and I sadly made a right mess of things, and I had a massive part to play in our relationship ending, a massive part to play." Not only does Reuben feature in a new series with his family titled Our Farm Next Door, but series two of Life in the Dales will premiere on Tuesday night. The synopsis for the first episode of the series states: "The Our Yorkshire Farm star continues to build his heavy plant machinery business in the Yorkshire Dales. "As summer arrives in the Dales, Reuben prepares land around a stone barn in neighbouring Cumbria, so homeowner John can commence major renovation works. "At a farmer's quarry, Reuben attempts to crush 10,000 tons of stone and building waste, so the spoil can be used to make tracks around the farm."
