Yorkshire Farm's Amanda Owen worries fans as her kids play on a frozen lake
Amanda Owen worried some of her fans after posting pictures of her kids playing on a frozen lake.
The Yorkshire Farm star, 48, shared snaps of her brood out on the river at Ravenseat as the country battles sub-zero temperatures.
In the pictures, her daughters look like they're having a whale of a time, skating along the frozen stream, wrapped up against the cold.
But some fans thought the ice was too dangerous for them to be playing on.
However, taking to Twitter, Amanda told her 200k followers: "Been slipping & skating around all week, but these lot have been doing it for fun.

"The water is incredibly shallow, only wet feet would result if the ice broke."
Other fans praised Amanda for letting her children have fun, saying: "Looks like they're having a fabulous time! I'm sure you wouldn't let them skate on anything that looks remotely unsafe".
Amanda Owen defended her decision to allow her children to play on the ice (@AmandaOwen8/Twitter)The pictures come after a tough start to the year in which Amanda gets used to life without Clive after the couple announced they'd split last year.
The mother-of-nine shares Raven, Reuben, Miles, Edith, Violet, Sidney, Annas, Clementine and Nancy, aged from 21 to five with her estranged-husband and admitted farming life had its challenges.
Speaking to us about her new show Farming Lives in which she visits farm across the country, she said: "Life has its challenges, whether that’s in media-land or on the farm. You have to adapt and change over time, don’t you?

Amanda pointed out the ice was very thin (@AmandaOwen8/Twitter)"It’s never easy, it’s different challenges. But I must admit I do like being a part of their journey as they grow up and seeing them develop.
"Raven is away at university doing a Masters now, Reuben’s working independently and loving it, Miles has left school and is working at home. It brings in new people and keeps you on your toes. I hope it keeps me young."
With her stunning looks and outdoor lifestyle, Amanda looks years younger than her age.

"I enjoy being not what people expect," she revealed.

"I hate the idea of stereotyping. I might be 6ft 2in and work on the farm, but I can wear heels, stick on false eyelashes and be totally happy talking to a bunch of hill farmers while I’m doing it."
