Lorraine viewers were praising the honesty of TV star Clive Owen, as he opened up on the ITV programme about his split from ex Amanda.
Clive and Amanda Owen had Our Yorkshire Farm viewers shocked in 2022, when they announced they would be seperating.
Despite the split, the couple had no plans to stop filming the Channel 5 show, which they appear on alongside their nine children.

As rumours about the split continued to grow, it was reported recently that Amanda had moved on from Clive, and was now involved with a new man.
And as Clive sat down with presenter Christine Lampard, he opened up about how he played a "massive part" in the break-up, and how life has been since the pair split.
Clive said: "It's a tough time for Amanda now and so I thought it was only right, I don't do social media or any of that so I sort of disappear.
"One of the things I hear is 'poor Clive' and I feel that isn't right. We filmed Our Yorkshire Farm, people loved it and the plan, Amanda's plan was we don't own the farm but this is security.
"We had this plan to make it more secure as a family so that's what drove her, 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 and I had a massive part to play in our relationship ending, a massive part to play."
Clive then admitted that he had become involved in drinking during the relationship, and stated he handled things "badly".
The Channel 5 star continued: "When all this went on, I was ranting and raving and drinking and carrying on.
"It was taking her away I think, it wasn't. She was committed and we were all committed but it seemed to eat away at me and I handled it badly and behaved badly towards her.
"I should have been supportive and I was the completely opposite."
Following this tell-all interview on Lorraine, viewers took to social media to send messages of support to Clive and his family.
One Twitter user wrote: "Love how open and honest Clive is being, not a horrible word said against Amanda #Lorraine."
Another said: "Clive Owen, a masterclass right there in being a good man. I think they are such a lovely family and I think Amanda is an inspiration #lorraine."
And a third wrote: "I do feel very sorry for that man. It looked like he didn’t want to be there at all. My sympathy lies with him because it seems he’s been coerced onto the show. Poor fella #lorraine."
More comments read: "With respect this is private why he split. He doesn’t need to air this at all. #Lorraine."
And finally, one concluded: "Clive is a bit nervous bless him. #Lorraine."
Lorraine airs weekdays on ITV at 9am. Catch-up episodes are also available on the STV Player, and the ITV Hub.
