The Yorkshire Shepherdess and ex-husband Clive became household names thanks to Our Yorkshire Farm

Amanda and Clive Owen are reportedly readying themselves for a joint return to screens despite announcing their split last year.

The duo were married for 22 years after tying the knot in 2000 and endeared themselves and their family of nine children to Channel 5 viewers in the series, Our Yorkshire Farm.


The show was canned last year following news of the split but now, it's been reported the pair will join forces for a new programme on Channel 4.

Our Farm Next Door is tipped to star the Our Yorkshire Farm pair alongside their 19-year-old son Reuben as they renovate a farmhouse near Ravenseat.

According to The Sun, production began in August and the mum-of-nine plotted her TV comeback alongside Clive in a bid to repair her reputation following reports of an affair while she was married.

A source close to the family told the publication: "Amanda’s ego has taken a battering. Her popularity fell off a cliff after the affair was exposed.

"She knows the only way for her to get back on TV — and for it to be successful — is for Clive to be involved and for them to put up a united front."

GB News has contacted Channel 4 for comment regarding the reports of the Owens' new show.

While the contents of Our Farm Next Door remain under wraps for now, it looks likely the property the pair may be renovating as part of the show is their farmhouse, Anty Johns.

Amanda and Clive sparked a frenzy among their fanbase last month when son Reuben took to Instagram as he shared a number of snaps of his family working on the derelict property.

The duo purchased the property - which has suffered a collapsed roof and hasn't been lived in for decades - when they were married.

Confirming his mum and dad had joined forces for the project, the teenage farmer captioned the Instagram post in which he announced the renovations had begun: "Me and Tom took the day of the diggers to give Mum and dad a hand taking the roof off Anty Johns.

"One amazing view from the scaffolding. @yorkshireshepherdess @tommy.mcwhirter," he signed off back on October 10.

At the time, fans rushed to comment on the post pleading for the renovation journey to be brought to screens, including one follower who penned: "Hope you do a renovation series!! Just saying …"

And a second echoed at the time: "They should film the work on this can't wait to see it finished x." (sic)

It looks like fans' pleas may be answered if the reports of Our Farm Next Door come to fruition in the not-so-distant future.

The Owens' return to screens would be a welcome one after the mum-of-nine sparked concern by abruptly shutting Ravenseat's doors to members of the public earlier this year.

The family's farm used to offer cream teas to paying customers but Amanda announced on her site that Ravenseat would be closed until further notice.
