Five months after the couple announced their split, Channel 5 has said that the show will not be recommissioned. 

A new series, Beyond The Yorkshire Farm, centering on the lives of Clive and his eldest son, 18-year-old Reuben, will take its place, following the father-son duo as they launch a digging business together. 

Taking to her social media accounts hours after the news was announced, the 48-year-old mum-of-nine shared a video which showed the shepherdess driving a tractor spreading manure across her farmland. She also shared a sweet picture of her standing alongside her son, Reuben.
