Our Yorkshire Farm's Reuben Owen has 'disastrous setback' after huge relationship update

Our Yorkshire Farm'sReuben Owen suffered a major issue after giving an update on his love life.The son of Amanda and Clive Owenhas been keeping fans up to date with life in the Yorkshire Dales thanks to his own spin-off show.

However, in the most recent episode of Reuben Owen: Life In The Dales, he was hit by a "disastrous setback". Reuben headed to Whitby with his pals and girlfriend Jessica Ellwood to celebrate his 21st birthday.

They made sure to head to the seaside town in style as they hopped on their tractors for the 100-mile trip, but things didn't go to plan. On the first day of their journey, Reuben's tractor started leaking.

It took a turn for the worst the following day as the vintage vehicle broke down while trying to make its way up a hill. "It's not gone well for the old lass, I think this could be her final...," a devastated Reuben shared.

His pal Tommy rushed in to help as he said: "I hope not! You might've killed it on its first run out. She was a good tractor." The voiceover for the programme explained: "It's a disastrous set back on day two, at this rate, Ruben's chances of making it to his own beach birthday party are looking slim."

They managed to get on the move once again, yet unfortunately for Reuben it didn't last long. The tractor had to be towed up a hill as Jess quipped: "It's really, really struggling, is Reuben's tractor."

The voiceover added: "At this rate, chops on the beach tomorrow for Reuben are looking increasingly unlikely." A flustered Reuben said: "I don't know what's wrong with it! The water pump can't keep up."

Despite the many problems they faced on the journey, they managed to make it all the way to the coast on their tractors. The stressful journey comes as Reuben gave a rare relationship update to the Mirror.

He explained famous mum Amanda is fond of his girlfriend Jess and how they are planning to take a big next step together. “Mum and Jess get on well, they talk about sheep together,” revealed Reuben. “They all approve and they all get along really well.”

One day Reuben dreams of owning a farm where there’ll be space for his machinery, alongside Jessica’s flock. “We’re just waiting for something to come up,” Reuben told us.

“I’ve got to try and get a nice place, get a bit of a farm somewhere one day. It would be ideal to have a farm where I can park my diggers and she can have her sheep and cows.”

While marriage and children isn’t on the cards just yet, Reuben is keen to get there “eventually”. But he’s not sure he wants nine children like his parents Amanda and Clive. Reuben admitted: “I don’t think I fancy nine of them, I don’t fancy nine at all. We’ll have to wait and see.”
