Amanda Owen, the Yorkshire Shepherdess – whose show, Our Yorkshire Farm airs today (Saturday, May 4) – was accused of “living a double life”, by her lover’s jilted wife.
The 49-year-old farmer has made headlines last year after it was reported she had been having an affair with Robert Davies. Amanda and Robert have known each other for at least five years, it was claimed. The pair reportedly met when Amanda hired him to work on her personal website.
After the affair became news, Robert’s devastated jilted wife, Yasumi Davies, spoke out. She alleged that Amanda had been living a “double life”. Yasumi also revealed how she found out about the alleged affair.

In an interview with The Sun, Yasumi, an investment banker from Toyko, revealed she found out about the affair when she found a love note in her husband’s car last March. The scribbled message from Amanda is said to have read: “Robert, life is too short and happiness is too rare. I love you.”
She’s been lying to the British public and living a double life.
Yusami reportedly left a banking career in Tokyo to move to Yorkshire with Robert. She then claimed that Robert told her that he and Amanda had been having an affair “for a few years”.
The heartbroken wife, who says she was previously impressed by Amanda and had watched Our Yorkshire Farm, claimed Amanda “didn’t care” about how she felt. She added that she failed to show any compassion.

“She portrayed herself as a wife and a mother, devoted to family, hard-working and an inspiration to others. But she’s been lying to the British public and living a double life,” Yusami claimed to The Sun.
Robert allegedly ended his relationship with Amanda in March 2022 after an ultimatum from his wife but then left her two months later after rekindling a relationship with the Channel 5 star.
Yusami went on to say how Amanda had made a career through TV appearances and writing books but “it’s all a lie”. “I never imagined she was someone else behind the cameras. The truth has broken my heart and ended my marriage. There is another side to her.”
