Clive Owen, star of Channel 5's Our Yorkshire Farm, has reportedly come to "the end of the road" according to friends. They say the farmer has decided to "move on" after his marriage split.
Clive and his estranged wife Amanda called time on their marriage last year as their show Our Yorkshire Farm was cancelled. Now, the "loyal" dad-of-eleven apparently accepts their 23-year marriage is over, according to reports.
He believes there is no going back. "People might have felt concerned about him because he had a tough time when they first split but he's moved on now," said the friend.

The source told Mail Online Clive and Amanda's lives were "intertwined" due to running a farm together, but Clive and Amanda "can't escape each other". They added: "Clive has remained so loyal to her for so long but he's reached the end of the road and now wants to get on with his life.
"He's a popular and very well-liked man in the Dales. Life is full of possibilities again."
In January, mother-of-nine Amanda spoke about the break up of her marriage. The Channel 5 show is based at her family home in Ravenseat, Swaledale, in the Yorkshire Dales, but Amanda and her partner Clive revealed they were separating last year.
In an interview with the Radio Times, Amanda, 48, described the split as ‘tough’ but suggested that there had been problems between the pair. She explained: “Look, there are two simple facts: if he thought I was brilliant, and I thought he was brilliant, then we wouldn’t have separated. It’s a fact, isn’t it?
“But, you know what, that’s not unique, it’s just how things are, pressures, all the rest of it. But we have nine kids, with associated friends, girlfriends, and we just have to get on with it.”
Following the split, the Yorkshire Shepherdess began filming a new More4 documentary, titled Amanda Owen’s Farming Lives, her first solo series without Clive. She explained that due to her huge family everything had to be planned carefully and it had to be done in small sections.
She said: “We go for the three-day rule: three days is the maximum number of sandwich boxes and stuff that we can get prepared and the maximum amount of carnage that I can cope with on my return.” The new series sees her visiting other working farms across the UK, exploring their innovative methods and the challenges of the cost-of-living crisis.
