Our Yorkshire Farm's shepherdess Amanda Owen has said she never really switches off from work in a candid interview about family life. The TV star spoke about how her showbiz life was a welcome break from the windswept hillside of Ravenseat.

Speaking to Times Radio, the mother-of-nine said she was up early that morning getting a few jobs done before heading off, including "telling a few children off" and "micromanaging". Amanda added: "Which is what I spend a lot of time doing, fingers crossed I haven't had any calls to say anything has gone wrong."

She explained how when she was away from the farm, the thought of work stayed with her. The shepherdess continued: "Yeah, it's all kind of logged in there, I'm not a great list person so there isn't a huge masterplan.

"The way we have raised the kids is that they are quite independent, they do a lot of stuff for themselves. You see, there was a method in the madness.

"So they do have the tasks, they do have the jobs, they do a lot for themselves." Addressing how she manages with Clive, her ex-husband, she said: "Clive is there, we are co-parenting and he is overseeing things.
