Amanda Owen has set the record straight about her current relationship status ahead of her new series and following her split from Clive Owen.
The 48-year-old, who shares nine children with her ex-beau Clive, revealed they had called it quits in June last year after 22 years of marriage.
Now, the Yorkshire shepherdess has spoken out about her love life, revealing she is enjoying life as a single “independent woman”.
Amanda Owen new series: TV star shares relationship update
In an interview with MailOnline, Amanda shut down rumours of a relationship and said: “I’m getting on with my life as an independent woman, looking after the kids and my sheep.”
Amanda, who shot to fame on Our Yorkshire Farm, also clarified that no third party was involved in the breakdown of her marriage to Clive.
“There was nobody involved in the break up with Clive and I don’t understand why this is being suggested.”
She then noted how she is “not a wallflower and not over-sensitive” to rumours about her love life. But she felt many comments had been taken out of context.
“I’m living a fantastic life doing what I really love,” Amanda added.
