Amanda Owen hits back at 'unhappy children' claims

Amanda Owen has hit back after being accused of having 'really unhappy children' and 'invading their privacy' as the family's continuing TV and social media careers flourish at their isolated Yorkshire Dales farm.

Response to fan criticism

During an Instagram Live broadcast, Amanda seized the moment to respond to criticism she encountered this week, with accusations that she was making her children miserable through the relentless media attention they face.

The remark Amanda was most likely addressing appeared on a family photograph she posted six days earlier by a fan. They had commented beneath Amanda's image of the family gathering on the farm to mark the new series: "Some of them look really unhappy, perhaps they've had enough of their privacy being invaded."

Explanation for the expressions

During her Saturday night Instagram Live session, Amanda responded, reports the Express. She clarified that the children had "screwed up faces" because it was windy and that the kids are always free to avoid the cameras if they want to.

The TV personality was quick to defend herself against fans' speculation.
