Amanda Owen and ex-husband Clive heartbreakingly announced their split last year as the farmer has lifted the lid on their unusual living arrangement. Our Yorkshire Farm star Clive appeared on Lorraine on Thursday morning as he detailed his split from Amanda to Christine Lampard.
The farmer appeared on the ITV breakfast show and discussed their unusual setup as they adapt to co-parenting and working together as a separated couple. He said: “I live at the farm and she lives about half a mile away down the road.
"On a day-to-day basis, we work together, we farm together, we look after the kids together. She feeds us all, somehow she looks after two houses instead of one. So I think, although it’s been unfortunate, I really believe the kids are great and fine."
Opening up on their split, Clive said: “It’s a tough time for Amanda now. One of the things that I hear is people saying, ‘Poor Clive’ and I feel that that isn’t right.”
“It’s been really upsetting," he continued. "Amanda’s having a tough time at the moment and I just feel that I can’t just sit back and watch all this happening without saying something in her defence.
“She’s a remarkable woman. I made a complete mess of it. We got to a point where we couldn’t be together anymore. If I’d supported her and looked after her, I’m sure things would have been much different. We were under pressure.
"It was crazy, for very ordinary people, all this going on. We got to a point where we couldn’t get along at all and we parted… Very sad but that’s how it is."
Speaking of how their lives changed following the success of their Channel 5 reality show, he said: “It was amazing and successful, I handled it very badly. It was such a change in our life and I sadly made a right mess of things basically and I had a massive part to play in our relationship ending.”
“We were all committed to this thing [programme] and it seemed to eat away at me. I handled it badly and I behaved badly towards her. Because I should have been supportive and I was doing the absolutely opposite," he added.
The Our Yorkshire Farm stars split last year and it's recently been reported that Amanda has subsequently moved on with businessman Robert Davies, who she has known for five years.
A source claimed to The Sun : "Amanda and Robert have known each other many years - long before her split. Now he travels everywhere with her and they’ve become seemingly inseparable."
