Our Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen has firmly responded to critics who have made “cruel swipes” about her appearance as a shepherdess. <\/p>\n

The 46-year-old television personality has defended her choice to wear makeup whilst working on the farm, challenging stereotypes about how farmers should look.<\/p>\n

Owen appeared on Wednesday’s episode of ITV’s Lorraine, where viewers were given a glimpse into her daily life managing Ravenseat Farm in Yorkshire. <\/p>\n

During the segment, she addressed the criticism she has received for maintaining her appearance whilst working in an environment typically associated with more rugged looks. <\/p>\n

In the footage, Owen was captured applying lipstick whilst sitting in a farming vehicle, demonstrating her refusal to conform to expectations. <\/p>\n

“I like my makeup. I like to try and make an effort, and I know that sounds very vain,” she admitted during the programme.<\/p>\n

The shepherdess then delivered a defiant message to her critics: “But if anyone wants to say ‘aw, you know you’ve got some mascara on you can’t be a shepherd’ – tough, because I am.” <\/p>\n

She emphasised her passion for her work, adding: “I take great joy and happiness in what I do, so I keep doing that.” <\/p>\n

Despite getting fully involved with caring for animals and land, she maintains that taking pride in her appearance doesn’t diminish her farming credentials. <\/p>\n

Owen has consistently challenged the notion that being a shepherdess means abandoning personal care or style, positioning herself as someone breaking stereotypes in the farming community.<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time Owen has addressed such criticism, as in 2021, she tackled the topic on Steph’s Packed Lunch. <\/p>\n

Then host Steph McGovern commented: “Throughout it all, you stay so glamorous. Which, always, I’m amazed about.”<\/p>\n

Owen responded by showing her hands, saying: “Look at my hands, though, Steph. Honestly, I’ve got iodine up my arm.” <\/p>\n

She further challenged assumptions about her profession, adding: “Yes, we don’t like stereotypes. I think that’s the thing – you know. <\/p>\n

“I mean, yes, I’ve got a sheepdog, yes, I’ve got a crook. Yes, I spend my time running around after sheep, but I can do other things too.” <\/p>\n

Owen\u2019s eldest son, Rueben Owen, was recently subject to backlash from their fans on Instagram after some claimed he was mistreating a sheep in a video his mother posted. <\/p>\n

However, he recently shut down the fact that he lets the comments get to him and said in an interview with The Telegraph: “I don\u2019t have the time or the inclination to scroll through social media.”<\/p>\n

The young farmer added: “If you do ever see me on my phone, I\u2019ll be searching for machinery sales.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Our Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen has firmly responded to critics who have made “cruel swipes” about her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":123228,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3940],"tags":[4080,4781,411,77,24756,382,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-123227","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-celebrity","10":"tag-channel-4","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-our-yorkshire-farm","13":"tag-tv","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114552956264311600","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=123227"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123227\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/123228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=123227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=123227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
