How Amanda Owen became the Yorkshire Shepherdess after dazzling ex-husband Clive and turning her back on modeling


She had a bright future ahead of her when she rocked up to her would-be-husband's farm as a bright-eyed 21-year-old model with aspirations to be a shepherdess in 1996.

It certainly put a slight dent in Amanda's image, after previously being hailed as the 'most authentic' star on TV, and her beginnings on the farm as a young woman who was more passionate about becoming a hard-working shepherdess than she was about modelling. Despite the 19-year age gap, the couple fell in love and tied the knot in 2000, settling into married life at Ravenseat Farm in Upper Swaledale, North Yorkshire [pictured on their wedding day] However, Amanda soon changed her mind about her desire to grace the covers of glossy magazines and eventually found herself eyeing up a completely different profession after stumbling upon a book called Hill Shepherd: A Photographic Essay at her local library.
