Amanda Owen is looking to return to the silver screen as she is set to star in a new show broadcast on Channel 4.
The Our Yorkshire Farm star, 49, opted to leave television behind after The Sun revealed that she was having an affair with a web designer some 22 years her senior. The five-year fling resulted in Amanda separating from her then-husband Clive.
Speaking after the decision was made last year, Amanda confirmed the split, writing: “Clive and I are sad to confirm that we have made the difficult decision to separate. This hasn’t been easy, but we both believe it’s the right choice for the future of our family.

Now, Amanda and Clive are set to make a comeback to our screens in a new show set to air on Channel 4. The programme started filming back in August and is due to be broadcast next year.
The show, titled Our Farm Next Door, will follow the pair – alongside oldest son Reuben, 19, who also appeared on the family’s Channel 5 show. Amada, Clive and Reuben will look to renovate a farmhouse close to their farm during the course of programme.
Sources close to the North Yorkshire-based family admitted that she knows she was public enemy #1 when the affair came out. They added that she hopes a new show working together will restore the public’s opinion of her.

“Amanda’s ego has taken a battering,” the insider said. “Her popularity fell off a cliff after the affair was exposed.
“She knows the only way for her to get back on TV — and for it to be successful — is for Clive to be involved and for them to put up a united front.”
Amanda and Clive called time on their relationship when her five-year affair to website designer Robert Davies was exposed. The fling brought an end to the farming pair’s 22-year long marriage.

Robert’s wife Yasumi was the one to blow the lid on the affair, after she discovered a note Amanda seemingly left a note to her secret beau in a bag. The note read: “Robert, life is too short & happiness is too rare; I love you,” leaving her distraught.
Yasumi confronted her husband, whose eldest child is the same age as Amanda, and he ended up confessing to everything. Since the affair was exposed, Robert and Amanda continue to see each other.
