Amanda Owen, star of Our Yorkshire Farm, has shared a heartwarming update from Ravenseat Farm, expressing her pride in her family. The 51-year-old Shepherdess posted several photos on Instagram on Tuesday, December 16, showing her children Reuben, Miles, and Sidney, along with close friends Myles Capper and Sonny Billington, working hard on the farm.
Alongside the images, Owen wrote: “The future is bright. Hi vis all the way!!!!! So proud of them all @reubenowen74 @myles.capper @billingtonsonny @milesowen86 @sidowen3. But if there was one thing that I didn’t need it was a high vis tup! Apply ruddle colour to tup cautiously, just a wipe.”
The post was flooded with supportive comments from fans, with one writing: “Wow Sidney growing up and driving, wonderful family.” Another added: “It’s scary how grown up they are all looking. Happy Christmas to you all.” A third commented: “Such a wonderful family. They’re a real credit to you and Clive. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas.”
The update comes as Owen bravely opened up about her struggle with an eating disorder following a major relationship breakdown. Speaking to the Mail, she said: “I just shut down. Physical and mental health are intertwined and anxiety, depression, paranoia, agoraphobia and an eating disorder were all smooshed into one.”
She also revealed the toll of living in the public eye, recalling a cruel troll who called her a “bag of bones”. She added: “I remember sitting in the sheep pens in the dark, just hiding. It's the price you pay for living your life in the open, for being observed. It's like having a post mortem before you're dead.”
