Amanda Owen latest: Huge boost for Yorkshire Shepherdess as Channel 5 confirms new shows

But how will Our Yorkshire Farm be affected by her split from Clive?

In the latest Amanda Owen news, the Yorkshire Shepherdess looks set to star in several new shows for Channel 5.

Channel 5 has confirmed it is working with Our Yorkshire Farm favourite Amanda on new content.

It was reported back in June that a sixth series of Our Yorkshire Farm has been commissioned.

The update on the show’s future was provided just a day after Amanda and Clive Owen announced their separation. They married in 2000 and share nine kids together.

But despite Amanda and Clive’s split, the broadcaster remains committed to making programming with them both.

However, it is not known what changes to the successful series will occur – or what new projects may emerge.

“This hasn’t been easy, but we both believe it’s the right choice for the future of our family,” they said in a statement.

She told Jeremy Vine: “Actually, to be dead honest with you, coming out and speaking out about it has been, for us personally, it’s been good.

“It’s been a release of pressure.”
