Amanda Owen has revealed why she still hasn’t split from her ex-husband Clive and admitted “it’s just not happening”. The Our Yorkshire Farm star, 51, found fame with Clive on their own television show that launched in 2018.
It followed the couple’s lives at Ravenseat Farm with their nine children, however things crumbled between Amanda and Clive with them calling time on their romance after 22 years. He has remained at the family farm, while Amanda decided to move a mile away.

“What am I supposed to say, ‘We get on like a house on fire?’ Well, if we did, we wouldn’t want to separate, would we?,” she said when asked about a reconciliation.
“He’s still the same annoying old Clive that he always was. I’ve seen him just now, and he’s still annoying – I annoy him, and he annoys me,” she told Hello Magazine.
While her feelings on Clive are crystal clear, Amanda explained a divorce is not so straight forward. “I mean, how would we even divide that up? It’s just not even happening.
“Who would get custody of all the sheep and the dogs and the horses, and who would want custody?” She added it is “tricky” when their lives and businesses are “so intertwined”.
Amanda confessed she knows the setup is unconventional, but it works. The former couple are even currently working together on the renovation of a farmhouse nearby and are filming for their series Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids.
The show returned last year as it followed Amanda and Clive with their children – Raven, 24, Reuben, 18 Miles, 15 Edith, Violet, 14, Sidney, 13 Annas, 10, Clemmie, nine, and Nancy, eight.
They both discussed their split on the show, with Amanda stating that whilst they’d endured an “incredibly hard” period they had “got through it”.
Clive admitted that it had been “a strange few years” for them, adding: “We are now in a place where although we are not actually together, we are still in business together, we still have these kids together.
“It’s a crazy situation but it isn’t – it’s the most sensible thing for everybody to do,” he said. Last week, Amanda opened up on her relationship with Clive while on Lorraine.
She revealed that her husband had just phoned her in a panic because he had confused washing up liquid for cooking oil. Amanda said: “He had fried eggs in some yellow washing up liquid so he was complaining that I shouldn’t buy washing up liquid in yellow.
“Washing up liquid should only be green. We are up against it, believe me, but the idea is that we’re just getting on with it, there’s plenty to do, plenty of space. Let’s be honest, that’s reality. That’s the reality.”
