Cos he's crazy too, so we've had a grand time doing it," he said on Lorraine."I think I'm stepping back from that now. I think he's gonna go on on his own.

Because he doesn't want me on his hands. So, I have no plans to do anything in particular, but you never know, someone might be daft enough to ask me."The programme followed the dad and son duo as they set up a digging business in the Yorkshire Dales.Despite Clive's shock departure, Channel 5 is yet to announce a second series of the show.The programme attracted a whopping 1.8M viewers and was a solid hit for the channel and massively outperformed Amanda's new show, Farming Lives, which attracted around 600,000 viewers for More 4.Clive has recently blamed Our Yorkshire Farm for causing the pair to split.He explained to Christine Lampard, who was standing in for Lorraine Kelly, that he struggled with jealousy and admits he handled the success of the show very badly, "ranting, raving and drinking"."We filmed Our Yorkshire Farm, people loved it and it was an opportunity to make something as a family.
