Amanda Owen’s new show Farming Lives hit by triple whammy of complaints

Amanda was hit by complaints from viewers for ‘trying to speak posh’ in her new farming show, Farming Lives.

The shepherdess rose to fame alongside her husband Clive and their children for their hit Channel 5 show, Our Yorkshire Farm.

However, the pair sadly decided to go their separate ways last year.

Amanda shared the devastating news in an Instagram story saying: “Clive and I are sad to confirm that we have made the difficult decision to separate. This hasn’t been easy, but we both believe it’s the right choice for the future of our family.”

Since their split Amanda and Clive went off to do their own shows.

While Clive fronted the Channel 5 series Beyond The Yorkshire Farm with his son Reuben, Amanda returned to our TV screens with her new show Farming Lives on More4.

On her new show, Amanda travelled to Castle Farm in Newport to see the Ricard family.

But while the new show went down well with most viewers, some fans criticised Amanda for the making several changes from her original show.

One viewer wrote: “Why are you trying to speak posh? We love your normal accent.”

Meanwhile, another viewer criticised Amanda for her eye makeup.

They said: “Please can someone show Amanda Owen how to apply eye make up – it’s getting worse by the week!”

Fans were also unhappy by the lack of her children in her new series.

Ahead of the new episode, Amanda took to Twitter to share a few snaps from her time at Castle Farm.

She wrote: “The Rickards are a very busy family who welcomed me into their home and gave me a fascinating insight into how they ALL play a part in running Castle Farm. And gave me a masterclass in showing dairy cattle. Tonight 9pm More4.”

However, many viewers commented that they missed seeing Amanda’s children.

One said: “I’ll be watching, enjoyed last weeks but really miss seeing the children.”

Someone else tweeted: “Loved the new programme, I miss the kids, Tony the Pony and your farm Ravenseat.”

Another said on Instagram: “Preferred before all the fame. Stay on your own farm with your kids.”
