Amanda Owen's husband Clive Owen has revealed he is "stepping back" from popular Channel 5 programme, Beyond the Yorkshire Farm, which he appeared on with his son, Reuben.

The farmer and TV presenter began fronting the show, which is a spin-off from Our Yorkshire Farm, in December, a few months after he and his wife Amanda announced their split.

Appearing on ITV's Lorraine on Thursday, Clive explained: "We've done this thing with Reuben, it's been great fun working with him because he's crazy too, so we've had a grand time doing it."

He added: "I think I'm stepping back from that now. I think he's going to do it on his own because he doesn't want me on his hands." Speaking about his TV career in the future, he added: "I have no plans to do anything in particular, but you never know, someone might be daft enough to ask me."

In the same interview, Clive opened up for the first time about his split from his wife of 21 years, admitting that he had a "massive part" to play in the breakdown of the marriage.

"It's a tough time for Amanda now and so I thought it was only right, I don't do social media or any of that so I sort of disappear."

He continued: "I handled it very badly, it was such a change in our life and I sadly made a right mess of things and I had a massive part to play in our relationship ending, a massive part to play."

Clive added: "When all this went on, I was ranting and raving and drinking and carrying on. It was taking her away I think, and it wasn't. She was committed and we were all committed but it seemed to eat away at me and I handled it badly and behaved badly towards her. I should have been supportive and I was doing the absolute opposite."
