Our Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen has issued a warning to fans, shared on behalf of her agent.
The Yorkshire Shepherdess is currently featuring in a new series on More4 alongside her ex-husband Clive and their nine children, as they renovate a derelict farmhouse (Anty Johns) in the Yorkshire Dales.
Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids marks the first time the pair have been seen on TV together since their Channel 5 show ended in 2022.
However, in a post on her official Facebook page (verified with a blue tick), Amanda’s agent Jo has asked her followers to not interact with fake accounts pretending to be “in some way related to Amanda and/or the new series”.
Want snow ? ❄️

People are also being urged to “not part with their hard-earned money" if the fake accounts request any cash.
The full statement, published on Amanda’s Facebook page (Amanda Owen - the Yorkshire Shepherdess) over the weekend, says: “Hi all, this is Jo, Amanda’s agent. Hope you’re all having a good weekend.
“It’s been brought to my attention this past few days that there are a number of FB pages springing up, which are passing themselves off as being in some way related to Amanda and/or the new series.
“This is just a quick note to confirm that this is the one and only official channel (verified with a blue tick) in relation to Amanda, along with the TV series, her books and any public speaking events we organise.”
Jo added: “If any FB pages make friends requests as if they were Amanda or anyone else in the family, please do not interact with them and please do not under any circumstances part with any of your hard earned money if requested to do so.
“We have had a problem in the past with pages pretending to offer live streaming events and asking people to buy tickets that don’t actually exist.

“Anything along those lines is bogus and the only place you will find legitimate posts is here.
“We will never ask you for money or make friends requests. This is purely a channel to let you all know when there’s some exciting news to share. Thanks for reading and please stay safe on the internet. Best wishes, Jo x.”
Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids continues on More4 on Monday, November 4 from 9pm.
