Our Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen has revealed how she stays fit and healthy while working alongside her ex-husband Clive on the family farm
Our Yorkshire Farm’s Amanda Owen has humorously suggested she’s reached her limit with her ex-husband Clive. The 51-year-old met Clive in 1996, and they soon became the proud owners of Ravenseat Farm in the Yorkshire Dales.
However, after a 22-year marriage, the couple decided to separate in 2022, but they continue to jointly manage the farm.
Besides featuring on the popular Channel 5 series Our Yorkshire Farm and running the business, Amanda is also a successful author, having penned five books about farming life.
In addition to her other commitments, Amanda maintains an active Instagram account where she shares snippets of her life on the farm.
She recently opened up about her post-divorce life working alongside Clive on the farm, how they divide responsibilities, and how she stays fit amid all this.
Speaking to i, she revealed that her fitness routine is largely made up of the physical labour involved in her work, reports Yorkshire Live.
Amanda shared: “Shearing sheep keeps me in shape. That’s where I get my biceps from. That and towing horses, lifting up rocks, dry stone walling, filling ditches – just doing stuff.
“I don’t do any weights. Reuben, my 21-year-old, is the only child who’d beat me in an arm wrestle because he does groundwork and landscaping, so he’s incredibly strong.”
However, when it comes to her ex-husband, the mother-of-nine draws a line.
She went on to say: “I’ve probably reached tipping point with Clive; I don’t think he’d tackle me because he wouldn’t want the humiliation.”
Amanda also mentioned that while she and Clive are “civil”, they “still bicker” — and instead of sharing a home, “he’s next door”.
This isn’t the first time Amanda has opened up about working alongside her ex-husband on the farm and co-parenting their children.
In a chat with Hello! magazine, she confessed that their dynamic hasn’t changed much — they still get on each other’s nerves.
She told the magazine: “What am I supposed to say, ‘We get on like a house on fire?’ Well, if we did, we wouldn’t want to separate, would we?
“He’s still the same annoying old Clive that he always was. I’ve seen him just now, and he’s still annoying — I annoy him, and he annoys me.
