Amanda Owen shocked Lorraine with a foul-mouthed swipe at ex-husband Clive as a grilling about her supersized family took a seriously chaotic turn.

The 50 year old shepherdess shares nine kids with her ex, who she split with back in 2022 after 22 years of marriage.

Amanda – who is currently starring in Channel 4‘s Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive, 70, and Kids – appeared on the ITV show to give an insight into her life on Ravenseat Farm in Swaledale, North Yorkshire.

Standing next to her derelict farmhouse, Amanda asked herself: ‘Why have I got nine children?’

She continued: ‘Because I never set out to have nine children.

‘It was never a big dream to have a big family, that didn’t come from anywhere.

‘Believe me, there was never a sit down moment where we said “Let’s try and repopulate Swaledale”.’

She added: ‘What do they do for me?

‘They keep me positive. They keep me amused. They keep me busy. They run me ragged. They drive me mad.’

Later on while talking to the camera, Amanda said: ‘I haven’t got anything to complain about. Well I have, obviously, Clive for a start.’

Later on she added: ‘Yeah you can tell Lorraine we’re in perfect f***ing harmony.’

The camera then panned out at Clive driving around the farm on a factor in the background.

Amanda told the camera: ‘I complain about him. I complain about the state of the houses. Complain about the kids throwing things everywhere.

‘I complain about the sheep that this lamb belongs to.

‘Course, but it’s not the big stuff, right?’

The former couple share Raven, 23, Reuben, 21, Miles, 18, Edith, 16, Violet, 14, Sidney, 13, Annas, 11, Clemmy, nine, and Nancy, eight.

It comes after Amanda opened up about raising her nine ‘feral’ children and the ‘life lessons’ that they learn while living in the countryside. 

Amanda told Yorkshire Life magazine: ‘Life here prepares you for life anywhere.

‘It gives you a can-do mindset, common sense, and a work ethic.

‘It teaches you that you can turn your hand to anything, that you won’t give up, and that sometimes life is hard and you don’t get the results you want, no matter how hard you try.’

She added: ‘You want to keep your child safe, of course.

‘But danger comes in many forms, whether it’s vehicles, fast-flowing rivers, things with teeth and hooves, or even through a small screen.

‘Who knows where the danger’s coming from, but you can’t live your life being risk-averse, and I wouldn’t teach that or champion it.

‘It’s seeing it and negating that danger.

‘It’s not keeping them entirely away from it, because you learn the respect and how to operate, and those lessons are probably learned as well as anything here.’

And just last week Amanda hit back at critics after a string of cruel swipes about her looks.

Speaking in a previous segment on Lorraine, while applying some make-up in the mirror of her tractor, Amanda said: ‘If anyone wants to say ‘aw you know you’ve got some mascara on you can’t be a shepherd’ – tough, because I am.

‘I take great joy and happiness in what I do, so therefore I keep doing that.’
