Our Yorkshire Farm 's Miles Owen shared a sad verdict on his dad Clive as he revealed he's caught between two factions at Ravenseat Farm.
Miles, 17, dad Owen, 69, mum Amanda, 50, and his eight siblings are best known for appearing on the Channel 4 show between 2018 and 2022.
The show followed the lives of the Owen family at the farm in Swaledale, North Yorkshire, and has then gone on to star in Our Farm Next Door, which launched on our screens last year.
His brother Reuben landed his own spin-off, Reuben: Life In The Dales, and Miles recently spoke out about what he would like to do in the future while appearing on the show.
But he mentioned a 'balance' because he's halving his time between helping his sibling Reuben, and his dad too, especially in the fallout from his hip replacement surgery.
Miles said: 'I really enjoyed growing up on the farm.
'One of my jobs was doing the chickens, collecting the eggs, looking after them, and feeding them.
'I'm doing more work with the cows and the sheep at the moment.
'I've talked to Reuben about the digging side and me helping more, getting more involved with his company, which I wouldn't mind at all...
'But, I've got to balance it, because dad's getting on and he's slowing down a bit.
'So, I've got to help dad when it's needed and I can't leave him to manage.
'Then, when Reuben needs it and he gets stuck, I need to go and help him.'
It comes after Amanda announced her epic career change away from Ravenseat Farm.
The 50-year-old shepherdess is set to bring out her own children's books.
Christmas Tales From The Farm, illustrated by Becca Hall, will be out in September and is written for eight to 12-year-olds.
Speaking about her new project, Amanda said: 'I am absolutely delighted to have been given the opportunity to enter the world of children's books with renowned publishers, Puffin.
'As a mother myself I know firsthand the joy that books can bring to young readers and how a book can stay with you into adulthood, take you places and open up new worlds.'
She added: 'To be taken under the wing of the Puffin family, publishers of some of my childhood favourites, is something that I could never have dreamed of being possible.'
Amanda, who split from her husband Clive in 2022 after 22 years of marriage, also took to her Instagram page to share the news with fans.
She said: 'I wanted to share with you the news of the latest addition to the farm... nope, not another woolly bundle of joy, no, it's my new children's book!
'What's it about you ask? What else could it be about other than the farm, the animals, children, nature, countryside and it's published by Puffin.
'And it's going to be out on 11th September.'
Amanda wrote on the caption: 'News flash!!
'My first ever children's book Christmas Tales From the Farm is coming soon!
'Published on 11th September, this collection of stories shares some of our special memories of life on the farm, from the festive season to the animals and their adventures.
'Each story is brought to life by the gorgeous illustrations by Becca Hall throughout. Christmas Tales from the Farm will be published by Puffin, and is out 11th September in hardback.
