Our Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen has fired back after getting comments on social media regarding her looks.
The Yorkshire Shepherdess took to Instagram on Friday (December 5), sharing a screenshot of two comments about her and her ex Clive left beneath her posts, reports the Express.
One read: “All smoke and mirrors… Clive will die as a farmer, Amanda is a pretend farmer.” Another targeted her slimmer appearance.
Amanda shared several photos alongside a defiant caption, which said: “Am I perfect? [Red X emoji) Am I fake? [Red X emoji] Am I a real person, flaws and all? [Green tick emoji].”
She went on: “So here’s just a few images from the last few weeks. Hopefully a few folk may feel inspired, take courage to be their own unique selves and refuse to be held back. The majority of people will just look at the images and scroll on, rightfully busy with their own lives. A very small number of people will be enraged. Enjoy. Not sorry.”

The mother-of-nine then shared photographs featuring herself alongside her children and working on the farm, including shots with sons Miles and Sydney Owen, plus images caring for livestock, and stylish snaps showcasing her figure in a black dress away from the hustle and bustle of Yorkshire Dales life.
Amanda’s supporters quickly rallied behind her following the candid post.
One declared: “They walk among us Amanda! Success breeds hatred for whatever pathetic reasons they are deluded by! Keep doing great things and loving your life and family.”
Another chimed in: “Oh God forbid a beautiful strong independent woman can’t possibly be a farmer. Keep being you Amanda.”

“It’s so sad that people feel so bad inside that they are unkind to others,” said someone else. “Your show has bought enjoyment to millions of people, myself included. Keep on being you and ignore the awful comments. Pity them. Can’t wait for the next series to have an update on Anty John’s.”
Someone else wrote: “Met you at your book signing at Grassington on Sunday. You are a lovely person inside and out. Haters are just jealous.”
Amanda shot to stardom through Channel 5’s reality programme Our Yorkshire Farm, featuring former spouse Clive, as their family of 11 documented life running their isolated Ravenseat farm in the Yorkshire Dales.

The Owen household has since relocated channels, moving to Channel 4, where they’ve completed two series of their new programme Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids, following their mission to transform a barn into their new dwelling.
The broadcaster has ordered two additional series, with the third and fourth instalments scheduled to arrive in 2026 and 2027.
