Our Yorkshire Farm fans have rushed to the defence of mum-of-nine Amanda Owen after she fell victim to "body-shamers" on her latest social media post.
Owen, 49, has been taking time out of the spotlight in recent months following the end of her Channel 5 show Our Yorkshire Farm and closing Ravenseat Farm to members of the public.
Her family, however, continues to regularly update their fans, with eldest daughter Raven a familiar presence on social media and son Reuben leading the way in his own Channel 5 series, Life in the Dales.
The Yorkshire Shepherdess hasn't been active on social media since the beginning of May but took the time on Wednesday to share an update alongside her eldest son.
The Life in the Dales star posted a snap alongside his mum onto his Instagram alongside the caption: "Picture of me and the boss 🫡 @yorkshireshepherdess."
His mum returned the favour, reposting the same image to her own page with her own caption: "The boss @reubenowen74 and myself. #yorkshireshepherdess."
The mum-of-nine is all smiles in the snap while wearing a low-cut pink gingham top.
Her son, meanwhile, is shooting a thumbs-up to the camera while sporting a personalised orange hoodie with his name on.
The comments section to both posts were flooded with fans remarking how delighted they were to see Owen back in the spotlight.
However, there was a handful that criticised the 49-year-old's appearance, including one who brutally commented: "Looks bl**dy skinny to me. All the fame gone to her head!"

Neither of the Owens responded to the comments but Our Yorkshire Farm fans quickly jumped to their defence following the cruel remarks.
"Why say anything at all honestly taken too many bitter pills today," one fan hit back before a second raged: "Wow! How rude!"
Meanwhile, a third fumed: "OMFG are you for real! I can't believe you typed that. Rude!"
"What a nasty thing to say," added a fourth before a fifth slapped back: "Body shaming is not ok, cruel and unnecessary remark, you try working full time and raising 9 kids, wow! Some people." (sic)
The mother-and-son social media reunion isn't the only family post that has sparked excitement among their fandom of late.
