Amanda Owen defensive as Christine Lampard asks how kids are 'affected' by fame

Amanda Owen appeared to be taken aback on Thursday morning when Christine Lampard asked her about her children.

The reality TV star joined Christine in the ITV studio for the latest episode of Lorraine to promote her new book and looked lovely in a purple polka dot dress.

Christine was keen to speak to Amanda about how her life has changed since finding fame with her television series Our Yorkshire Farm.

"You never ever get used to the cameras coming in, being beamed into people's homes," Amanda admitted.

"I'm still not used to it now, I still pinch myself absolutely. But it's also opened up a wealth of opportunities you see, being able to share that with people, it's been a real privilege."

Christine then asked: "And how has it affected the children? If it has at all?" but Amanda seemed quite shocked by the question.

As she laughed at the question, Christine attempted to explain herself further and said: "In terms of people knowing who they are, I'm guessing you know just generally... I recognise their little faces now."

Amanda responded: "They remain very, very unaffected because at the end of the day, they don't see their lives as anything out of the ordinary, who does?

"We're literally just doing our thing. Yeah, we get opportunities, we meet more people, there's people coming to the farm, they've even been out and about with me when I've been going to theatres and doing talks. So honestly, in real terms, it's just made us a whole lot busier," Amanda added.

Viewers tuning in at home had a lot to say about the interview and took to Twitter to comment.

One person asked: "What has happened to Amanda Owen? She’s Definitely NOT herself. #lorraine."

A second person posted: "Awkward interview #lorraine," while a third claimed: "Christine looks bored. #lorraine."

Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV and ITV Hub.
