star is returning to TV screens alongside her ex Clive and their kids as they refurbish a dilapidated farmhouse in a fresh five-part observational documentary series
Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids documents the Owens’ endeavour to revitalise a neglected neighbouring property they acquired to secure their family’s future. The inaugural series traces the first 12 months of the project, showcasing Amanda, Clive and their nine offspring collaborating with a crew of local tradespeople to gradually realise their grand vision for the farmhouse – locally known as Anty John’s – while contending with the harsh Dales weather on one of Britain’s most isolated construction sites.
Amanda also delves into the dwelling’s rich past, revealing the remarkable story of Anthony Clarkson, a Swaledale cartographer and diarist who resided there in the mid-1800s and chronicled life in this breathtaking segment of the Dales.
Parallel to the renovation, we spend time with Clive, Amanda and their nine children at their Ravenseat home, as they navigate a challenging year managing the family sheep farm during one of the rainiest years on record.

Collectively, they must handle lambing, mowing and the myriad other tasks which keep the bills paid and propel their build forward.
This new show marks the first time Amanda and Clive have been on TV together 2. Amanda moved on with web designer Robert Davies, 72, but has since split from him.
Although Clive and Amanda aren’t back together, it seems their relationship is amicable, as he previously gushed over his ex and her mothering skills.

He said: “It’s not like everyone else’s version of leaving a marriage, because she was at the farm the next day and every day thereafter, looking after the kids, feeding us all, doing jobs on the farm – and she still is!
“The two houses are walking distance, so the kids, now aged from eight to 23, go where they want to go. They do as they please, there’s no tension or animosity about the set-up.
“It’s really good for them. Amanda is the greatest mother ever and the kids love her to bits.”
