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.

The event takes place in the grounds of Kinloss House, near Cupar. Gates will be open to members of the public at 8.30am and the show usually runs until around 5pm. Around 10,000 people have attended each of the past three annual events. Show president David Aglen, farm manager at Balbirnie Home Farms, Cupar told us the weather omens were looking good. Work on the fields started eariler this week and all the main equipment will go in this weekend, he said. He added: 'It's been lovely and sunny, and all the forecasts suggest it will stay dry all next week. 'If the weather does play ball for us, it's sure to be anther great event.' David – now in his second year of a three-year stint as president – said the recent dry spell would help make sure there isn't a quagmire on the day, even if there is any rain. And with farmers having suffered no weather-related disruption to spring chores this year they'll all enjoy the chance to enjoy the show with all the other visitors, he added. Show organiser Elaine Millar told us the heavy and light horse sections had 187 and 321 entries respectively. Cattle classes have 146 entries, with 376 received for sheep.

A Young Farmers' tug o' war and Cupar and District Pipe Band will both help to keep the crowds entertained. There will also be parades of livestock and vintage vehicles. The Game Fair area will have numerous activities going on throughout the day, including demonstrations of falconry, ferret racing gun dogs and angling.

Officials will be there to guide you to a spot just a short walk away from the entrances. If you have a Blue Badge, show it to the parking attendants on your way into the field and you'll be directed to disabled parking near the main entrance. All visitors are welcome but the event takes place in fields, so people must make their own assessment as to how easy it will be for them to navigate there way around. If the weather is wet, conditions may be muddy. There's an accessibility statement available via the Fife Show website. Yes, but make sure you're wearing your show wristband or have your hand stamped in order to avoid having to pay again. Its all there on the A Day at Fife Show section of the website. This has lots of useful information about what's happening and where. Yes, and there's even a dog show to enter them in. But bear in mind the show will get very busy, with people and animals. Make sure you know if your dog is comfortable in this kind of environment. Dogs must be kept on a short lead at all times within the showfields, and owners must clean up after them. Dogs should not be left in cars. Yes, there will be lots of stalls selling all kinds of food, drink and snacks. 'Prepare to go home feeling full,' say the show organisers. Some of the exhibits are in tents but the main ring and most of the action takes place outside, whatever the weather. The official advice is to 'bring your jacket and a pair of wellington boots, and you'll be all set'.

She added: "I have shown some of the nurses where I worked before and all of the student nurses on my course. "Everyone loves it.
