Beyond the Yorkshire Farm star Clive Owen confirmed that he would be leaving Our Yorkshire Farm’s spin-off show Beyond the Yorkshire Farm so that his son, Reuben, can have a go at doing it on his own, saying that Reuben "doesn’t want me on his hands". 

Speaking on ITV’s Lorraine, he explained: "We've done this thing with Reuben, it's been great fun working with him. Cos he's crazy too, so we've had a grand time doing it. 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."

It has been something of a turbulent time for Clive, who split with his mother and the mother of his nine children, Amanda Owen, back in 2022. At the time, the pair released a statement which read: "This hasn't been easy, but we both believe it's the right choice for the future of our family."

He admitted that filming the show impacted their relationship, adding: "She was committed and we were all committed to this thing but it seemed to eat away at me and I handled it badly and I behaved badly towards her. I should have been supporting her and I was doing the absolute opposite."

"[The show put a wedge between us] without a doubt, and once a wedge begins to come between you, for whatever reason, we were under pressure, it was crazy. We got to a point where we couldn't get along at all and so we parted." The pair are now co-parenting their youngsters, Raven, Reuben, Clemmy, Annas, Miles, Edith, Sidney, Violet and Nancy.
