Lorraine Kelly taken aback as Amanda Owen makes foul-mouthed swipe at ex-husband Clive
Our Yorkshire Farm's Amanda Owen did not hold back as she jokingly ranted about ex-husband Clive during an appearance on Lorraine on Wednesday morning. Amanda Owen left Lorraine Kelly stunned with a candid and somewhat irreverent remark about her ex-husband Clive as she opened up about raising their nine children together. Their children are Raven, 23, Reuben, 21, Miles, 18, Edith, 16, Violet, 14, Sidney, 13, Annas, 11, Clemmy, nine, and Nancy, eight. The 50 year old shepherdess and Clive parted ways three years ago after a 22-year marriage. Fans of Our Yorkshire Farm adored the couple, watching them and their children grow at Ravenseat Farm in North Yorkshire. Amanda, now starring in Channel 4's Our Farm Next Door, appeared on Lorraine to discuss her hectic life. However, the conversation took an unexpected turn, reports the Express. Amanda pondered, cradling a lamb: "Why have I got nine children? Because I never set out to have nine children. "It was never a big dream to have a big family that didn't come from anywhere. "Believe me, there was never a sit-down moment where we said, 'Let's try and repopulate Swaledale.'" She revealed that her children keep her spirits high and entertained during the chat. Shortly after, she confessed: "They run me ragged. They drive me mad." Then, she quipped: "I haven't got anything to complain about. Well, I have, obviously, Clive for a start... Yeah you can tell Lorraine we're in perfect f***ing harmony." Following her candid remark, the camera cut to Clive in the background, operating a tractor. Amanda shared: "I complain about him. I complain about the state of the houses. I complain about the kids throwing things everywhere. "I complain about the sheep that this lamb belongs to." Catch Lorraine every weekday at 9am on ITV1, with episodes also available for streaming on ITVX. 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.

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.

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.".

ITV Lorraine fans distracted by same thing as Amanda Owen shares 'brutal' update
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Viewers of Lorraine were left feeling a touch unsettled on Tuesday when Amanda Owen, the well-known Yorkshire shepherdess and mother-of-nine, made a live appearance from her farm that became more than just a plug for her new show. Famed for her role in Our Yorkshire Farm alongside now ex-husband Clive Owen and their expansive family, 50 year old Amanda was on the show to chat about the forthcoming series of Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids. This More4 spinoff documents the erstwhile couple and their kids as they embark on an exciting new renovation venture. During her conversation with presenter Lorraine Kelly, 65, Amanda didn't shy away from the realities of life after divorce and the intricacies of co-parenting whilst still managing sizeable shared responsibilities. Yet, it wasn't the stories of farm life or humorous memories that had viewers glued; it was Amanda's own personal state.

We've got plenty to amuse ourselves. There's space... There's room to get away from each other, if we're being absolutely brutally honest here. If we got on like a house on fire, we wouldn't be separate would we?". (Image: ITV) (Image: ITV) With honesty, Amanda touched upon the trials of bringing up nine children in the wake of a split, conceding: "It's not all sunshine and springtime. The reality is, we're just getting on with it and making it up as we go along.", reports the Mirror. Amanda brought a touch of sincere wit to her candid reflections on her lively yet fulfilling lifestyle: "I'm quite proud of how we're going on. It's about priorities. This life isn't about perfection... Turn around, go in the house - goodness me. There are goats going through the house. Literally tumbleweed going through the door. It took me time to get the children to school this morning without being covered in lamb poo and snot." However upbeat her comments may have been, some followers sensed that not all was as it seemed. On social media, concern for Amanda quickly surfaced. "Is Amanda OK? Something doesn't seem right," questioned one viewer on X. "She doesn't look well." another observed. Accusations surfaced that the interview overlooked what appeared to be evident signs of fatigue or pressure. "Lorraine acting completely oblivious to what she's seeing in front of her eyes - as usual." A further voice chimed in with, "God, Amanda doesn't look well at all. Hope she's doing okay." The consensus wasn't universal, though; numerous supporters rallied behind Amanda, lauding her tenacity, genial nature, and unwavering commitment to her family. "Nine kids and running a farm - Amanda Owen is a powerhouse," an admirer commented. "She looks incredible considering everything she juggles." Ever since the Owen clan gained fame back in 2018, Amanda has stayed in the limelight with Our Yorkshire Farm, a show which followed their tough but picturesque life at Ravenseat Farm and won over the nation. Following five successful series and a public breakup, the programme concluded in 2022. Since then, the family has continued to grace our screens through spinoffs such as Beyond The Yorkshire Farm: Reuben and Clive and Reuben: Life in the Dales. Now, with Our Farm Next Door, audiences are offered a fresh insight into how Amanda, Clive, and their brood are constructing something new - both physically and emotionally.
