Our Yorkshire Farm's Reuben Owen shares 'worst thing' about growing up on show

Reuben Owen has opened up about growing up on hit series Our Yorkshire Farm.

The 21-year-old farmer, who now stars in his own show Life in the Dales, joined Alan Titchmarsh on Sunday's Love Your Weekend to reminisce about life on the family farm.

Our Yorkshire Farm, which launched in 2018, followed the life on a remote sheep farm in Yorkshire for Clive and Amanda Owen and their nine children. The documentary series concluded in 2022 after the divorce of Amanda and Clive.

Despite the end of Our Yorkshire Farm, Amanda has remained in the spotlight with appearances on shows like Amanda Owen's Farming Lives and Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids, and she's also featured in Reuben's Life in the Dales.

Talking to host Alan, 75, Reuben was quizzed about his farming upbringing as he asked: "Did it feel idyllic when you were growing up or were there times where it was... well it was obviously a hard graft at times I guess!"

Reuben responded with a mix of nostalgia and humour: "It had its times where it was hard but overall an amazing place to live and grow up, I've had some great times there", reports .

However, he couldn't resist a playful jab at the less-than-perfect weather as he quipped: "I think the worst thing about it is the weather!"

Nevertheless, he affirmed: "Other than that, it was a brilliant place to grow up!"

Reflecting on his early brush with fame and the constant presence of camera crews, Reuben acknowledged: "I've kind of known it since I was very young and it's brought all sorts of opportunities.

"So I've always kind of enjoyed doing it! It seems whenever anything goes wrong, a camera turns up!"

Fans of Our Yorkshire Farm are abuzz with anticipation as the future of Reuben's standalone series, Life in the Dales, has been confirmed.

While an official release date is still under wraps, behind-the-scenes photos featuring Reuben and his colleagues have been revealed.

Reuben was spotted filming in Whitby, and a local fish and chip shop took to to share snaps of him, his girlfriend Jessica, and his workmates.

The post, which was also shared on a fan page dedicated to the Owen family, showed Reuben and his friends beaming at the camera during a well-deserved break.

Meanwhile, Reuben's solo series is not the only upcoming show. Channel 4's Our Farm Next Door, featuring Amanda, Clive, and their children, is also preparing for its second series.

Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh continues on Sundays on ITV and ITV X.
