Amanda Owen breaks down in tears revealing 'time-critical medical emergency' on farm - with teenage son rushed to hospital in air ambulance fighting for his life
Amanda Owen broke down in tears as she revealed the 'time-critical medical emergency' on their family farm which saw her teenage son rushed to hospital in an air ambulance. The most recent episode of Reuben Owen: Life in the Dales, which aired on Tuesday night on Channel 5, saw shepherdess Amanda and her son Miles visit The Great North Air Ambulance Service. The pair reunited with the emergency services because back in 2022 Miles was airlifted to hospital after developing diabetic ketocaidosis (DKA) - a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when your body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones. After spotting the helicopter in the sky, Amanda asked Miles: 'You don't remember any of it?' To which Miles shook his head and told his mum: 'No.' 'It's bringing it all back for me even though it's not you!' Amanda told her son. And just as the chopper landed, it all got too much for Amanda as she wiped away the tears from her face. Amanda said: 'I'm not crying! I'm not crying!' The mother and son duo were then reunited with Dr Rachel and critical care paramedic Mike, who helped Miles on the day and flew to Ravenseat Farm when it happened. Amanda said: 'It's been a while hasn't it? Two years. 'Seeing you landing like that, it sort of brought it all back to me, really. Because, like I said, the last time I saw that land it was just like... you know.' Rachel asked Miles how he was getting on, to which he replied: 'Good, I was saying to mum, I can't remember it at all. I was so out of it.' Dr Rachel told him: 'You look a lot better than the last time we saw you!' What is diabetic ketoacidosis? Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when your body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones. DKA was first described in 1886 and, until the introduction of insulin therapy in the 1920s, it was almost universally fatal. Today the risk of death with adequate and timely treatment is currently around one to four per cent. Symptoms of a DKA episode include nausea and vomiting, pronounced thirst, excessive urine production and abdominal pain. According to figures just four per cent of people with type 1 diabetes develop DKA each year. Earlier on in the episode they replayed the call that Amanda and former husband Clive, 70, to the emergency services. Recalling what happened, Miles said: 'I felt awful all day. 'I didn't know what was up with me. 'Maybe it was something I was eating, maybe it was a bug, something like that, and then I was sick, I didn't know what was going on. 'I just thought Everyone is suck now and again. It's one of those things. 'Went to bed with no tea...' Amanda asked if he remembered waking up and he said: 'Vaguely.' Clive admitted it was 'one of the worst days of my life'. Speaking about what happened ahead of the episode, Amanda said on Instagram: 'Tonight's episode of Reuben Owen: Life in the Dales is a challenging one. 'It has taken until now to share what happened in December 2022 when there was a big medical emergency on the farm. 'Miles wanted to share what happened to him to hopefully raise awareness of Type 1 diabetes and Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) which is a potentially life-threatening acute complication. 'Do tune in at 8pm on Channel 5 for an uplifting glimpse of how in difficult circumstances and locations individuals can change the narrative of a story and save lives.' Many rushed to Instagram to share their love and support after Miles opened up about what happened in 2022 Many rushed to the comments section to share the love. 'This is so brave and honest of Miles to share this on tv. I am diabetic too and sometimes I think diabetes is so misunderstood especially by people who don't suffer from it nor have anyone close to them with it.' 'well done Miles for sharing. I don't think Diabetes is taken as seriously as it should be x.' 'It's great to see Miles share this and thank you all, it's a hideously worrying event that for most of us is thankfully infrequent, but no less worrying when this happens.' 'The Air Ambulance is such an important part of rural communities.' 'Thank you for sharing. Bless you all, such a beautiful family!!!! Sending lots of love ❤️ xx.' Amanda and ex Clive are not just parents to Miles. The former couple, who split in 2022 after 22 years of marriage, are parents to nine kids. They are also proud parents to Raven, 23, Reuben, 21, Edith, 16, Violet, 14, Sidney, 13, Annas, 11, Clemmy, nine, and Nancy, eight. The family shot to fame on Our Yorkshire Farm back on Channel 4, which aired between 2018 and 2022. Spin-off Our Farm Next Door landed on our screens last year and has already had two series. Reuben landed his own programme started in 2024.

Captioning the post, she said: 'Beating the heat by heading to cool, shady dubs. 'It's not all about the swim, the immersion is not just in the water but in the surroundings. 'Ducklings, butterflies, pond skaters and brown trout rising and the buzz of insects amongst the overhang of bilberry. 'Not a nature reserve, a farm.' But one person pointed out in the comments section: 'Is no one going to mention the precarious fence!' In a number of the snaps there is a rusted fence hanging above them on the hill, at seemingly quite a steep angle. Despite that, others rushed to thank her for sharing some wholesome content.

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.' The TV favourite also took to Instagram to share the news. 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?

Meghan Markle confirms simple way she keeps Archie and Lilibet 'grounded'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has revealed her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, sell their homegrown produce at a local farmers' market to learn the value of money. The 43-year-old believes this practice is essential for her kids, who are "very lucky" to live in a "privileged" home, to understand that everything has a cost and a price. To teach them this valuable lesson, Meghan and Prince Harry encourage their children to tend to their garden regularly and take pride in their crops, which they then sell at a market in Montecito, California. Meghan explained: "There's a cost and a price for things, and I think that's key for children to understand, especially children who are very lucky to have a home, that has privilege, you need to know that just like manners, and taking care of the things around you, there is a value on things."

The duchess also recently shared a heartwarming photo of the family's beagle, Mia, sniffing a basket of fresh produce from their garden, highlighting her efforts to incorporate their homegrown vegetables into Archie and Lilibet's packed lunches. (Image: Emma Grede/Youtube) "I love it at the end of a long day. The kids are down to bed at like 7ish. I can go downstairs have a glass of wine [and] I'm doing their little lunch. I find joy in it for whatever reason and it can be therapeutic. That for me is one of my simple pleasures," Meghan shared on the podcast, reports the Mirror. "This is such a key age. I don't want to miss a moment for my children and I love that I can do drop off and pick up at school and do meetings in between and go to Disneyland for two days, as we just did. And, you know, volunteer to serve hot lunch at school or be the chaperone for the kindergarten field trip." The former actress, who hails from California, balances her business As Ever with parenting. She has been utilising podcasting - and other media - recently to promote her business, including teasing "surprises" on Instagram which await fans later this week. A post on the brand's official page was captioned: "Oh yes, things await. Mark your calendars for June 20 at 8 a.m. PT – we're bringing back your favourites, plus some delicious surprises you won't want to miss!".
