“Oh, What Have I Done!” – Amanda Owen Overwhelmed by New Farmhouse Reveal in Return of Our Yorkshire Farm
Amanda Owen Shares Her Biggest Leap Yet as Fans React to Her Raw, Honest Emotions on Channel 5
YORKSHIRE — Amanda Owen, beloved as The Yorkshire Shepherdess, made her much-anticipated return to screens last night in a brand-new season of Our Yorkshire Farm on Channel 5 — and the premiere did not disappoint. What began as a regular update from Ravenseat Farm turned into something much bigger: a raw and emotional look at Amanda’s boldest move yet — purchasing a second farmhouse.
Tears, laughter, and a touch of panic marked the episode’s central moment, when Amanda stood in the middle of her new home-to-be and exclaimed, “Oh, what have I done?” Fans immediately took to social media to express support, admiration, and shared excitement.
“Amanda is so relatable,” one viewer tweeted. “That mix of fear and joy — I felt that in my soul.”
A New Chapter Begins
Amanda, 46 at the time of filming, opened the episode with scenic shots of the rolling Yorkshire Dales, reflecting on her journey from shepherdess to author, TV star, and now — multi-farm owner.
“It’s both exciting and terrifying,” Amanda confessed to the camera. “It’s not just a home, it’s a commitment. And part of me is wondering… what have I got myself into?”
The new property, which had been quietly acquired over the previous months, lies a few miles from the original Ravenseat Farm and includes additional pastureland, dilapidated barns, and a large stone farmhouse in need of restoration. Amanda explained her long-held dream of creating a “sister site” where her children could one day live and work independently.
“This is about giving them something to grow into,” she said. “A future beyond me.”
Supportive Fans and Family Help Amanda Push Forward
Amanda’s children — Raven, Reuben, Edith, Clemmy, and the rest of her growing crew — all appeared during the episode to help begin the process of clearing, cleaning, and envisioning what the new home might become.
Reuben, now 21 and an aspiring mechanic and builder, took the lead in inspecting the structural needs of the house, while Raven offered support and reassured her mum.
“Mum always finds a way to make it work,” Raven told the crew. “She panics at first, but she’s unstoppable once she gets going.”
Amanda’s raw emotions, particularly during a moment when she stood alone in the hallway and whispered, “It’s so empty… but full of hope,” left viewers reaching for tissues.
Clive’s Absence — But Not Forgotten
While Amanda’s ex-husband Clive Owen did not appear in the episode, Amanda briefly mentioned that they remain in contact for the sake of the children and the farms.
“We’ve got shared roots here. And even if life looks different now, the kids come first,” she said quietly.
Clive and Amanda officially announced their split in 2022 following reports of marital strain. Since then, Amanda has taken on the primary role of both farming and parenting, with occasional help from the older children.
Social Media Explodes with Reactions
It didn’t take long for Twitter and Facebook to light up with messages from viewers who praised Amanda’s honesty and bravery.
“That ‘Oh what have I done’ moment… I’ve been there. You could see her heart was pounding,” one fan wrote.
“Amanda Owen is the reason I still watch TV live. No edits. No filter. Just real life and big dreams,” said another.
Even celebrities chimed in, with fellow farmer-turned-presenter Jimmy Doherty posting, “Massive respect to Amanda Owen tonight. That house is going to be something special.”
What’s Next for Our Yorkshire Farm?
Channel 5 has yet to confirm how many episodes will follow this season, but early ratings from the premiere suggest a strong start. With the added drama of the new property, fans are hopeful that this series will offer deeper insight into Amanda’s personal growth as well as the children’s evolution into young adults with ambitions of their own.
There’s already speculation that the farmhouse renovation may become the focus of a spin-off or special feature later in the year.
“There’s so much more to tell,” Amanda teased at the episode’s close. “But for now, I’ve got walls to fix and a future to build.”
Conclusion: A Bold Step Forward
Amanda Owen has never shied away from showing both the beauty and hardship of rural life. With this new chapter unfolding on-screen, fans are once again drawn into her world — a place where courage, community, and country life collide.
And if last night’s episode proved anything, it’s that no matter how overwhelming the task, Amanda Owen will face it with muddy boots, heartfelt honesty, and a grit that continues to inspire.
