Reuben Owen, the young star of Our Yorkshire Farm, has cast his gaze towards the future, revealing that a career in television isn’t quite what he’s after.
On the Channel 4 show, Reuben gained popularity with his family, which included eight siblings and his parents, Amanda and Clive Owen.
Following the conclusion of the series, Reuben has ventured into new territory with his own Channel 5 series, Life in the Dales.
The recently concluded second series of the programme follows Reuben and his mates as he aims to expand his machinery business.
Additionally, Reuben appears in another family-centred show, Our Farm Next Door, where the Owens are seen renovating a dilapidated farmhouse known as Anty John’s.
Yet, during a candid chat with the Telegraph, Reuben shared insights about his aspirations beyond the small screen.

Although he enjoys sharing his daily life with viewers, he also expressed a desire to be recognised for something more grounded, stating he wants to be “as the guy who digs holes.”
He remarked, “I don’t have the time or the inclination to scroll through social media,” reports the Express.
“If you do ever see me on my phone, I’ll be searching for machinery sales.”
He further stated: “I don’t want a career on television, I want to be known as the guy who digs big holes; my current ambition is to buy a 50-ton excavator. Now that really would be the realisation of a dream.”

In the final episode of Life in the Dales, Reuben, who resides at Ravenseat Farm with his family, hinted at a potential departure from the show.
He divulged: “It’s been a hectic time. Three years in business, I’m 21 now. We’ve got plenty of diggers, plenty of work on, couple of bunch of team and staff on with me, got Jess [his girlfriend] with me, who’s an absolute star.
“Think the next thing we need to think about is getting somewhere a bit better to keep all these machines, and hopefully somewhere for me to live as well.
“That’s the dream next. Get myself a yard and a house. We’ll have to see what the future holds,” he further commented.
Reuben Owen: Life in the Dales can be streamed on My5.
