Amanda Owen forced to issue warning to fans after family’s return to TV with new Channel 4 farm show
AMANDA Owen has issued a warning statement to her fans as she returned to screens with her new Channel 4 show, Our Farm Next Door.
The Owens and their nine children became household names after appearing in Channel 5 series Our Yorkshire Farm, set in the Yorkshire Dales.
The series ended in 2022 and at the same time Amanda and her husband Clive announced their split after 22 years of marriage.
Our Yorkshire Farm fans were devastated when they heard the news, and so were excited about their new Channel 4 show together.
The show - called Our Farm Next Door - features the couple alongside their nine children as they plan to restore a derelict farmhouse back to its former glory.
However, with her return to the limelight, Amanda has discovered some people pretending to impersonate her and then asking fans for money for live stream events that don't exist.

Amanda declared that her official Facebook group's only purpose is to keep people updated about exciting upcoming news.
A public message on Amanda's Facebook page was written by her agent Jo. It said: "Hi all, this is Jo, Amanda’s agent. Hope you’re all having a good weekend.
"It’s been brought to my attention this past few days that there are a number of FB pages springing up, which are passing themselves off as being in some way related to Amanda and/or the new series.
"This is just a quick note to confirm that this is the one and only official channel (verified with a blue tick) in relation to Amanda, along with the TV series, her books and any public speaking events we organise.

"If any FB pages make friends requests as if they were Amanda or anyone else in the family, please do not interact with them
Jo continued to say: "Please do not under any circumstances part with any of your hard earned money if requested to do so.
"We have had a problem in the past with pages pretending to offer live streaming events and asking people to buy tickets that don’t actually exist.
"Anything along those lines is bogus and the only place you will find legitimate posts is here.
"We will never ask you for money or make friends requests. This is purely a channel to let you all know when there’s some exciting news to share.
"Thanks for reading and please stay safe on the internet. Best wishes, Jo. x"
Amanda Owen's relationship timeline
The Yorkshire Shepherdess Amanda Owen has lived most of her life in the public eye as her Channel 5 series Our Yorkshire Farm shined a spotlight on her rural life with ex-husband Clive and their nine children. Sadly, Amanda's relationship with Clive hit the rocks and in 2022 the couple announced their split. Let's take a closer look at the timeline of their relationship, plus Amanda's other notable romance...
Amanda married Yorkshire farmer Clive Owen, who is 19 years her senior, in 2002.
The couple welcomed nine children together over the course of their marriage.
Their nine children, in descending order of age, are Raven, Reuben, Miles, Edith, Violet, Sidney, Annas, Clemmie, and Nancy.
There is a large age gap between some, with the oldest, Raven, now 23 and the youngest, Nancy, only 8.
Clive and Amanda appeared to be very much in love as they documented their home and working life together at Ravenseat in their Channel 5 series.
However, they shocked their fans on Thursday, June 9, 2022, when Amanda shared an Instagram post confirming that she and Clive had split.
She said: "Clive and I have are sad to confirm that we have made the difficult decision to separate.
"This hasn't been easy, but we both believe it's the right choice for the future of our family."
Clive has since opened up about his part in their split, admitting his "anger drove her away."
Following their split the Sun revealed that Amanda had been having a relationship with web designer Robert Davies, who is 22-years her senior.
He was a "good friend" to them, Clive said as he confirmed that Amanda's new relationship began after they had separated.
However, in 2024, Amanda revealed that her relationship with Robert had ended and that they were no-longer on speaking terms.
Meanwhile, Amanda and Clive have become good friends and continue to co-parent their children and work together on the farm.
They will reunite for a new Channel 4 documentary series that will see them attempt to restore an neglected property on their land.
Amanda and Clive have been frank while discussing their split and enduring an incredibly hard year. In the latest episode of their new show, Amanda joked about weathering the storm together.
She told the cameras: "We’ve always joked about being able to weather any storm, and when I said that, I was kind of meaning meteorologically.

"But we have to weather any storm that there is going out there. There is obviously nothing that we can't get through, that's kind of our mantra."
