Reuben Owen, former star of Our Yorkshire Farm, has opened up about the challenges he faced while filming his new Channel 5 show, Reuben: Life in the Dales. The reality series, set in Yorkshire, follows Reuben as he ventures out on his own, away from his famous family. Alongside his ex-girlfriend Sarah Dow and friend Tommy, the show explores the ups and downs of Reuben’s business and the realities of country life.
One of the biggest hurdles for Reuben was learning to operate an old bulldozer, which he described as the “scariest” part of filming. “It took me a while to get my head around a piece of heavy machinery,” Reuben admitted. He even bought himself a bulldozer for a job, but found it challenging to drive due to its unique controls. However, with perseverance and practice, he has now mastered it.
In a recent appearance on ITV’s Lorraine, Reuben clarified his relationship status with co-star Sarah. He revealed that they had split up but remained good friends. Sarah has chosen to pursue her own career, although she still helps out occasionally. Reuben emphasized that they have a strong bond and get along well.
Reuben and Sarah started dating in December 2021 after meeting through their co-star Tommy. Sarah spoke about their relationship on the Channel 5 spin-off show Beyond The Yorkshire Farm, praising Reuben for teaching her new things and expressing their strong connection.
Overall, Reuben: Life in the Dales offers an intimate look into Reuben Owen’s journey as he navigates the challenges of country life and builds his business. Viewers can expect a mix of personal stories, relationships, and the excitement of mastering heavy machinery.
Reuben, the breakout star of Channel 5’s hit show Our Yorkshire Farm, is set to embark on a new adventure following the cancellation of the beloved series. The show, which featured Reuben’s parents Clive and Amanda Owen, captured the hearts of millions with its unique portrayal of farm life. Despite the disappointment of the cancellation, fans can now look forward to following Reuben and his father Clive on their next journey. Channel 5’s Commissioning Editor for Factual, Daniel Pearl, expressed his support for the Owen family and hinted at exciting new projects with Amanda in the future.
After the conclusion of Our Yorkshire Farm, Reuben joined forces with his father to bring Beyond The Yorkshire Farm to viewers. However, Clive made the decision to step back from the show, explaining that he felt his presence was no longer necessary. Instead, he wanted to focus on his true passion: tending to his sheep and cows. Reuben acknowledged his father’s invaluable contribution to their farming endeavors, stating that Clive had taught them the essentials of machinery and maintenance. With their newfound knowledge and confidence, Clive felt comfortable returning to his beloved animals.
