The presenter, who dubs herself the Yorkshire Shepherdess, then followed her comment with a crying-face emoji and two love-heart emojis.
Fellow outdoors explorer and TV presenter Julia Bradbury, known for her stints on Countryfile, also shared her condolences to the post, writing: "So, so sorry to have lost @SidekickAndy."
Amanda appears on Our Yorkshire Farm alongside her husband Clive and their nine children.

The Owens are a true inspiration."
