Channel 5’s Amanda Owen reunites with ex-husband Clive for new series on rival channel despite marriage split
AMANDA Owen has reunited with her ex-husband Clive Owen for a brand new Channel 4 series.
The TV couple – who split in 2022 – will open the door once again to their Ravenseat farm.
Amanda, 50, and Clive shot to fame with their beloved Channel 5 series Our Yorkshire Farm.
However, the fan-favourite show was axed by bosses after news of their separation emerged.
The estranged couple, who have nine children – have signed up for a More4 show called Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids.
It will follow the Yorkshire family as they restore a nearby derelict property that they’ve purchased for their future.
The Owens will work with a team of local tradespeople to bring the listed farmhouse – known locally as Anty John’s – back into use.
Amanda Owen will also trace the farmhouse’s former owners and learn about the building’s history.
Speaking about the new show, Amanda said: “It is fantastic More4 have given us the opportunity to showcase what we do best, working as a team and battling the elements whilst trying to reinstate the farm next door to its former glory.
“It is no exaggeration to say that filming outdoors on an exposed hill end in Swaledale was at times a huge challenge for the Wise Owl film crew, but their dedication and enthusiasm has never waned.
“This new project has been a huge undertaking for the whole family and one we are excited to be able to share with the viewers at home.”
The 10-episode run will be stripped across two years, with five episodes airing in each block.
Last year The Sun exposed Amanda’s five-year fling with a 71-year-old web designer.
Clive and Amanda’s son Reuben has also paved his own TV career, bagging his own Channel 5 show Life In The Dales.
Launching earlier this year, the format sees the 18-year-old explore his love for farming and machinery.
