Our Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen admitted that life is a struggle as the mum of nine adjusts to life following her split from her husband Clive after 22 years of marriage.

Her admission comes just days before her show debut - the solo series Farming Lives - will as she visits fellow farmers.Amanda admitted her large family - with children aged between five and 21 - coped well without her as she filmed for extended periods elsewhere."Years of training means they’re fine!" she explained, adding: "The nature of what we do means there’s always something to be done."They can bake, cook, even tidy up – usually when I give them a warning that I’m coming back!"Meanwhile, Amanda added during her interview with the Mirror that she has been forced to "adapt and change" over time in the aftermath of her split.She explained that life is "not easy" and has its "challenges" but that she is moving forwards with her show Farming Lives.It was announced back in November that Channel 5 would be dropping the family's original show following the marriage split, and offering Clive a spin-off show with her eldest son Reuben, titled Beyond The Yorkshire Farm.The programme sees Reuben embark on a major new step in life with his dad as the pair showcase their latest digging venture.Meanwhile, Amanda has been offered her a show of her own, where viewers will get a chance to see her travel to other farms and speak to the locals about how they run their businesses.Meanwhile, she seems confident that her family will "ride the storm" with her as she looks towards finding a new normal post-marriage.She revealed that her eldest child, daughter Raven - who is a little less farm-orientated - is now away at university doing a Masters degree.Amanda.
