Reuben Owen has sparked quite a reaction among Our Yorkshire Farm fans after reuniting with his dad Clive in a new social media update.
The father-and-son duo, who starred in their own spin-off series on Channel 5 after Our Yorkshire Farm ended, are set to return to screens soon in a new More4 series – alongside Amanda Owen and the rest of the family.
Both Amanda and Clive have taken steps back from the spotlight in recent months following their split while Reuben has remained a familiar presence on screens in his own show, Life in the Dales.
The young farmer, who announced a split of his own earlier this year from girlfriend Sarah Dow, regularly updates his fans on social media while the Owen family’s shows are off-screen.
And in his latest TikTok, Clive joined him, marking his first return to the limelight since he and Amanda spoke publicly about their split earlier this month.
Reuben shared a series of clips on his TikTok from a recent work project in the Yorkshire Dales, alongside the caption: “Shovel on the move back home to be serviced ready to go to work #hitachi #loader #volvotruck.”

The first few clips in the montage showed Reuben hard at work in the Dales, transporting a large loading shovel to a farm.
As the update edged towards its conclusion, Clive appeared behind the wheel of the machine as he drove it onto a nearby field for the job at hand.
Seeing Clive hard at work with his son delighted fans and Reuben’s followers who soon flocked to the comments section of the post to share their thoughts.
“Great to see your old man enjoying himself in the cab,” one follower commented as they applauded the duo.

A second weighed in after spotting Clive getting stuck into the work at hand as they remarked: “Old lad in his element there,” followed by a wink emoji.
“Dad enjoying himself,” a third echoed, followed by a laughing emoji, before a fourth added: “Nice bit of kit reuban. nice to see your pops too.”
Meanwhile, others were keen to praise Reuben for his work ethic, as a fifth commented: “Your doing well lad.” (sic)
The update from Reuben marks the first time Clive has broken cover since he and his ex-wife Amanda addressed their split and the impact the subsequent media attention had on them both.
Both Owen parents began seeing other people after their split but Amanda’s relationship with web designer Robert Davies, 72, garnered headlines across the country.
And as such, the attention and peoples’ opinions started to affect the Yorkshire Shepherdess, with Clive telling The Sun: “The trolls stepped in. People were saying such horrible — and wrong — things.

“I don’t do the internet, so it didn’t touch me like it did Amanda.
“Also, for some strange reason, I seemed to not get the blame, even though I was seeing other people, too. They’ve attacked Amanda more than me.
“I was really worried about her. She was in a place physically and mentally where sometimes I wondered whether she’d survive the night.”
Both Clive and Amanda are now on good terms as they co-parent their nine children and will work together to restore a derelict property for new More4 series, Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids.
