The youngsters have gone their separate ways since the series was filmed

Former Our Yorkshire Farm star Reuben Owen seemed to have an awkward but jokey spat with ex-girlfriend Sarah Dow in the latest instalment of his solo show, Life in the Dales.

The 20-year-old announced last week that he and Dow had sadly split up but remain close friends, however the series was filmed while the two were still a couple.


It seems cracks in the relationship were beginning to show at the time though as Dow was forced to snap at Owen as he blasted her work.

The latest episode saw Owen preparing to sell one of his beloved tractors, and Dow was on-hand to ensure it looked its best before the auction.

"It makes him happy, so it's good," Dow commented sweetly about her partner as she painted the vehicle.

Talking about his passion for tractors, she went on: "There are worse things to be interested in."

Dow was later scolding her ex after he tried to interfere with her work, joking: "I think it just needs a few finishing touches," before he picked up a paintbrush, ready to start painting over Dow's work.

"No! No, put that down!" Dow yelled, taking the paintbrush off Owen.

She demanded: "You go outside and let me do it before you ruin everything!"

Later though, Owen assured her: "You've done an amazing job. Well done, you did an absolutely brilliant job."

"She does the odd day for us when she's not busy, but no we're not together. We get on very well and we're still good pals."
