Our Yorkshire Farm teen star flees UK after admitting he's 'incredibly skint'
Reuben Owen, star of Our Yorkshire Farm, is preparing to leave the UK with his girlfriend, Sarah Dow. The 18 year old, who gained fame from his own show, Reuben Owen: Life In The Dales has been sharing insights into what he learned from his parents, Amanda and Clive Owen, after Our Yorkshire Farm was cancelled due to their divorce.
As regular viewers will know, the young entrepreneur runs a digger business in the Yorkshire Dales, and his new series documents his adventures alongside girlfriend Sarah and friend Tommy. The trio were seen getting ready for their departure from the UK on Thursday night's (May 2) episode of Reuben's hit show.
Reuben has previously spoken about how his upbringing on his parents' Ravenseat farm equipped him with skills that have been instrumental in his current venture. He admitted: "It's been hard starting my own business, I've been incredibly skint a lot of times. It's not a walk in the park and it still isn't a walk in the park."
The star then continued: "But I love doing it. When I was little, we always had to work fairly hard. Dad [Clive Owen] and mum [Amanda Owen] always expected you to do plenty of work. I did all the repairs on the farm and I think whatever you learn when you're younger, stays with you the rest of your life."
Reuben is all set for an exciting adventure to France with Sarah and Tommy, marking his first-ever trip outside the UK, reports the Daily Star.
He was recently seen getting into the travel spirit, flipping through a French guidebook while stocking up on essentials with Sarah. It's a sneak peek at what's in store for viewers in the upcoming episode of Life In The Dales next Thursday, where the farming sensation is gearing up for his journey.
The show featuring Reuben has already captured the hearts of many fans. Taking to social media to praise Reuben's work ethic and presence on screen, one wrote: "#Reuben #LifeInTheDales great show. This lad is great overcoming problems and guiding colleagues. #GreatViewing".
Echoing the sentiment, another fan posted: "#Reuben #LifeInTheDales love this programme. It's the perfect antidote to a busy day (watching someone else do the hard work! )".
Catch the latest from Reuben Owen: Life In The Dales on Channel 5, airing next Thursday, May 9 at 8pm.
