Amanda Owen slams claim someone else was 'involved' in marriage split from Clive

Our Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen has slammed the suggestion anyone else was "involved" in her split with husband Clive.

The parents-of-nine announced their split in June last year after 21 years together, followed by the cancellation of their popular Channel 5 show which showed the reality of life on their Ravenseat Farm.

The ex-couple are now supporting their brood, who range in age from 21 to five, and Amanda, 48, has been opened about the reality of co-parenting, after she moved to a separate farmhouse on their land, with some of the kids.

The mum has also insisted there is "no problem" between herself and Clive, 68, and shut down any suggestion a third party was involved in the split.

She told Mail Online: "I’m getting on with my life as an independent woman, looking after the kids and my sheep.

"There was nobody involved in the break up with Clive and I don’t understand why this is being suggested."

Speaking about her relationship with the farmer, she said: "There’s absolutely no problem between us. It’s been a very amicable split and we continue to work together."

Earlier this week, Amanda also spoke about her family situation on Lorraine, where she also debuted her new glam look.

She said: "It's not a big story. I feel there's so many people in similar situations. That's the reality, we all have to get on with it. There's the animals to look after, the childcare."

Amanda looked very glamorous during her appearance on the ITV morning show, as she also chatted about her self-care and how she prioritises herself despite looking after the whole farm and juggling parenting too.

"I am content. You do have to take a little time for yourself. Even if I'm going to be feeding the sheep, I put my moisturiser on and mascara on, it's self-care," she said of her new routine following her split.

Amanda previously explained to The Mirror that her kids coped fine when she was away as she opened up about the "different challenges" she has faced as a parent over the year.

She said: "Years of training means they’re fine. The nature of what we do means there’s always something to be done, so they can bake, cook, even tidy up – usually when I give them a warning that I’m coming back!

"It’s never easy, it’s different challenges. But I must admit I do like being a part of their journey as they grow up and seeing them develop.

Asked if she enjoys the showbiz side of her life as well, she added: "Of course I do, although I think at the moment I’d need a very big scrub and a manicure! I hate the idea of stereotyping. I might be 6ft 2in and work on the farm, but I can wear heels, stick on false eyelashes and be totally happy talking to a bunch of hill farmers while I’m doing it!"
