Our Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen is returning to TV tonight with a brand new series of her new show, Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive & Kids.

But fans of the mum-of-nine have been forced to defend Amanda after others spotted a ‘worrying’ change in the previews for season two of the Yorkshire Dales farming programme on Channel 4. The new series picks up where series one ended, as the family of Amanda, her ex-husband Clive, and their nine children including Raven, Reuben and Miles Owen all work together with the youngest kids including Clemmy, Annas and Sydney to restore an old barn and make it a permanent home.

The new series will be six more episodes showing life on the Ravenseat farm as they battle to get their house finished and have somewhere to live as a family.

Amanda Owen, posting on Instagram, said: “Tune in tomorrow [Tuesday] night, we return to television screens with a new series of Our Farm Next Door!!!

“9pm on More4 or of course you can catch up on Channel 4 streaming!”

But some fans spotted a ‘worrying’ change for the Yorkshire shepherdess, saying she appears to have lost a lot of weight.

@herr_chenn said: “Why did you lose so much weight? I’m worried about you.”

@alicer.rowly said: “I agree, I love her shoes and she is an amazing lady, but she really doesn’t look well at all. Out of concern and not body shaming, her face looks gaunt and she doesn’t look well.”

But others defended Amanda. User @hodson1066 said: “I think that’s Amanda’s business, don’t you?”

And many were excited to see her return on the programme. @renderkaren said: “Ooh I’m so looking forward to [the] new programme Amanda, I’ve rewatched every episode and re-read every book. Thank you.”

@hoblouise added: “Gorgeous family who have the best life in the wonderful great outdoors! Can’t wait to watch the new series xxx.”

@caroja_crochet said: “Fantastic series, this is how children today should be spending their childhood, making amazing memories.”

The series follows on from Our Yorkshire Farm, the reality show on Channel 5 which shot the Owen clan to fame, but was cancelled after five series when Amanda and Clive announced their separation.

Since then, Amanda, her son Reuben and ex Clive have all worked on solo projects before returning on screen together in this More 4 and Channel 4 series.
