Amanda Owen's husband Clive has taken full responsibility for the breakdown in their marriage of 22 years.
Amanda and Clive, 68, share nine children together and rose to fame on their Channel 5 show Our Yorkshire Farm but announced they would be parting ways last year.
It was recently reported that Amanda has since moved on. The presenter has been linked with Robert Davies, a businessman she met five years ago after hiring him to launch a website to promote her work after she shot to fame the year prior.
Robert's fourth wife issued a stark warning to Amanda, 48, calling Robert, 71, "charming but ruthless" and warning he "gets bored easily" and claims he's obsessed with fame and fortune, The Mirror reported.
And her estranged husband Clive, 68, appeared on ITV's Lorraine on Thursday where he spoke openly about their breakup to stand-in host Christine Lampard where he took admitted blame for the breakdown of their marriage.
Speaking on the ITV show today, he said: "It's a tough time for Amanda now and I think it's only right because I don't do social media to speak out. We filmed Our Yorkshire Farm, people loved it and it was an opportunity to make something as a family. That was what drove her. It was amazing and very successful but I handled it very badly.
"It was such a change in our lives and I sadly made a right mess of things basically. I had a massive part to play in the relationship ending. A massive part to play. I was ranting and raving and drinking and carrying on. I don't know - jealousy."
He added: "It seemed to eat away at me and I handled it badly and I behaved badly towards her. I should have been supportive ... It's been really upsetting, Amanda's having a tough time at the moment. I just feel I can't sit back.
