Devoted viewers of Channel 4's beloved series Our Yorkshire Farm found themselves reaching for tissues after witnessing a profoundly emotional moment during Clive Owen's 70th birthday celebration. A newly released preview clip from Monday's upcoming episode of Our Farm Next Door showcases the touching scene where Clive's youngest daughters, Clemmie, aged 10, and Violet, aged 15, approach him with a carefully wrapped gift as his former spouse Amanda, 51, watches with evident affection.
A Heartfelt Birthday Presentation
In the intimate footage, Clive is seated peacefully by a window when his children present him with the surprise package. Reacting immediately to the expert wrapping, Clive remarked warmly, 'It's lovely, lovely. Somebody who's an expert tied this parcel. Haven't they? You can tell.' His excitement grew as he unveiled the contents, exclaiming with genuine delight, 'Oh my goodness. It's a coat, and it's another one of those motorbike coats. I once had a motorbike coat, and it was the best coat I've ever had.' The proud father humorously added, 'I know that out that door now there's a Harley-Davidson, isn't there?'
Children Share Their Joy
Violet later confided to the camera that she believed her father 'really liked' his thoughtful present. Clemmie expressed her happiness, stating, 'I was just really, really happy because dad is very hardworking, so he deserves some time just spent with him.' The celebration reached an even more poignant peak when the children presented a final, deeply personal gift: a fossil engraved with the heartfelt message 'I love you, Dad.'
Overwhelming Fan Reaction on Social Media
Following the clip's release on social platforms, fans were quick to share their emotional responses, with many admitting the scene brought them to tears. One viewer wrote, 'Awwww nearly made me cry because them kids love him so much.' Others praised the family dynamic, commenting, 'Those children are amazing. They are so lovely, and just simple things make them happy. We should all be like this, just enjoying life at its best.' Additional fan reactions included:
- 'Those children melt my heart! Just so beautiful and fantastic to see them enjoying the simple things in life that mean the most!'
- 'They are an absolute credit to Clive and Amanda, they have done an amazing job bringing them up! This made me cry, it's just so beautiful.'
Parenting Praises and Past Revelations
The heartwarming fan appreciation for the birthday festivities arrives shortly after Amanda Owen disclosed a remarkable anecdote about the birth of her eighth child, Clemmie. She revealed that during labour, she opted not to call an ambulance, candidly admitting, 'I could not be arsed.' Instead, the Yorkshire shepherdess gave birth at home on the farmhouse floor, surrounded only by cushions, a rug, and her terrier dog.
Speaking on the White Wine Question Time podcast, Amanda described the scene, saying, 'Right here, this is where Clemmy was born. A few cushions and a rug and a terrier over there under the settle. Best birth partner ever. I put my hand down, when I felt there was a head coming, I knew it was all systems go.' She explained that previous attempts to reach the hospital, a 69-mile journey from their Yorkshire Dales home, had proven increasingly futile, leading to her pragmatic decision driven by sheer exhaustion rather than any ideological stance against medical intervention.
