With her typical candidness, Amanda shared backstage: "There's a lot going on here. It's been a nightmare here. I've got children going to school, I've got children studying and children working and then he comes to me and says he's bored."
She went on to describe Clive as a challenging patient, saying: "He has had a hip replacement and he's a terrible patient. Everybody's just getting on and stuff's getting done but just not how he would like it. But most of the time we don't care."

Following their friendly parting, Amanda and Clive are pouring their energies into revamping an abandoned farmhouse for their fresh venture, despite being hampered by adverse weather and other hiccups, according to Yorkshire Live. Amanda elucidated on the new project: "This actually belongs to us whereas Ravenseat is a tenanted farm. This has an amazing history and no one has actually lived here for over 100 years," while Clive added his piece: "There's no road to it at all."
The pair conceded that the weather hadn't been on their side, with Amanda opening up about the challenges: "It was never going to be simple. I'm not that much of a twit right? Ask me anything about sheep and I'll tell you what I think about them. Ask me anything hill farming, no problem. Ask me anything about home renovations, not a clue. This is all about the future. It's a big undertaking.", reports Lancs Live.
Following their separation in 2022, Amanda had said at the time: "Clive and I are sad to confirm that we have made the difficult decision to separate. This hasn't been easy, but we both believe it's the right choice for the future of our family."
Subsequently, Clive admitted that his "anger" was to blame for the end of their marriage. The ex-couple share nine children - Raven, Reuben, Miles, Edith, Violet, Sidney, Annas, Clemmie, and Nancy - who are split amongst pursuing further education, working or attending school.
