Reuben Owen has shared a rather dangerous-looking social media update

Reuben Owen has risked the wrath of social media moderators with one of his latest updates from a job in the Yorkshire Dales.
The Channel 5 star regularly uses the likes of TikTok and Instagram to keep fans abreast of what he's up to after documenting his day-to-day duties in Our Yorkshire Farm and Reuben: Life in the Dales.
Now running his own contracting business in Yorkshire, the 20-year-old has been hard at work getting jobs done for clients away from the camera.
But in his latest update, Reuben openly admitted the work may not have been carried out in the safest of manners.
So much so, the clip had supposedly already been taken down by TikTok after he shared it on the platform.
In the update in question, one of Reuben's pals can be seen lying underneath a giant digger as he repairs the machine with a wrench.

As the camera pans out, however, it transpires that the digger is being held aloft above his pal's head by a rather makeshift prop - a pile of rocks.
Not oblivious to the risky nature of the clip, the young farmer captioned the clip: "Hopefully doesnt get taken down this time #diggers #plant." (sic)
And his followers similarly spotted the dangerous scenario unfolding, with one sarcastically replying: "What’s the worst that could happen."
"Looks good to me," a second similarly joked while a third simply shared a series of laughing emojis.

Reuben is no stranger to sharing updates from his business ventures away from the screen, recently delighting fans when he revealed one of his siblings had joined him at work.
Reuben's younger brother Sidney, 12, could be seen getting to grips with a digger in one of the Channel 5 star's recent posts.
It comes after the latest series of Reuben: Life in the Dales ended with him facing the prospect of losing pal and colleague Tommy McWhirter from the workforce.
McWhirter's dreams of becoming a trucker took one step closer to coming to fruition in the finale, with Reuben admitting he'll likely have to work without him moving forward.
The young farmer was also rocked by the fact he split from his girlfriend Sarah Dow after filming had ended.
She'd worked alongside Reuben as part of his contracting business but the Our Yorkshire Farm star revealed they'd broken up soon after the finale, although they remain friends.

Meanwhile, the Owen family's matriarch Amanda Owen has been keeping a low profile of late across social media while Ravenseat's doors remain shut to the public.
She did make a brief return to the spotlight via an Instagram post alongside her eldest son but the moment was marred by some cruel comments.
Social media trolls were accused of "body shaming" the mum-of-nine upon her return to the limelight as they questioned her appearance.
