Amanda Owen's husband Clive quits Beyond The Yorkshire Farm in shock exit

Clive Owen has quit his spinoff show Beyond the Yorkshire Farm after admitting his son Reuben 'doesn't want me on his hands.'

The farmer starred in the show spin-off Beyond The Yorkshire Farm following the breakdown of his marriage to shepherdess Amanda Owen.

The 68-year-old starred in three episodes alongside his eldest song Reuben. Following the cancellation of Our Yorkshire Farm, which shot the couple to fame, the Channel 5 show was broadcast in December.

Clive has now revealed he is stepping back from the show, letting his son go it alone but hasn't ruled out future TV work, reports the Mirror.

"We've done this thing with Reuben, it's been great fun working with him. Cos he's crazy too, so we've had a grand time doing it," he said on Lorraine.

"I think I'm stepping back from that now. I think he's gonna go on on his own. Because he doesn't want me on his hands. So, I have no plans to do anything in particular, but you never know, someone might be daft enough to ask me."

The programme followed the dad and son duo as they set up a digging business in the Yorkshire Dales.

Despite Clive's shock departure, Channel 5 is yet to announce a second series of the show.

The programme attracted a whopping 1.8M viewers and was a solid hit for the channel and massively outperformed Amanda's new show, Farming Lives, which attracted around 600,000 viewers for More 4.

Clive has recently blamed Our Yorkshire Farm for causing the pair to split.

He explained to Christine Lampard, who was standing in for Lorraine Kelly, that he struggled with jealousy and admits he handled the success of the show very badly, "ranting, raving and drinking".

"We filmed Our Yorkshire Farm, people loved it and it was an opportunity to make something as a family. That was what drove her. It was amazing and very successful but I handled it very badly," he admitted.

"It was such a change in our lives and I sadly made a right mess of things basically. I had a massive part to play in the relationship ending. A massive part to play. I was ranting and raving and drinking and carrying on. I don't know – jealousy."

The Our Yorkshire Farm stars, who share nine children, split last summer after 21 years together.

It has recently been reported that Amanda has subsequently moved on with businessman Robert Davies, who she has known for five years.
