Amanda Owen defends Jeremy Clarkson and says he 'highlighted difficult problem'
Amanda Owen has praised Jeremy Clarkson for highlighting what a difficult job farming can be.
The Yorkshire Shepherdess, 48, says 'farmers love' Clarkson, 62, because he highlights a lot of the problems the farming industry faces, even when he gets things 'all wrong'.
Amanda's comments regarding the former Top Gear presenter come amid speculation Amazon Prime have cut ties with Clarkson, following his hate-fueled comments about Meghan Markle.
Clarkson issued a public apology to the Duchess and Duke of Sussex last week, but reports quickly followed that Amazon won’t be working with the controversial star beyond seasons of The Grand Tour and Clarkson’s Farm that have already been commissioned.

Farmers love Clarkson, Amanda says (Amazon Prime Video)"Farmers love him," the Our Yorkshire Farm star has told Times Radio.
"I'm absolutely sure of that because he highlights the problems of farming even under his umbrella of humour and doing it all wrong. He has absolutely brought to the nation how difficult the job is."
Last week, Clarkson recalled how Amazon, who make the Farm Show, were "incandescent" after his decision to share his disturbing thoughts about Meghan with the public last month.
Clarkson wrote in The Sun last month how he hates the former Suits actress "on a cellular level" and wants her to be "paraded naked through the streets".

Within a lengthy apology directed at the mum-of-two and Prince Harry, Clarkson explained how his bosses at ITV and Amazon reacted to his column.
"The Sun quickly apologised, and I tried to explain myself. But still, there were calls for me to be sacked and charged with a hate crime. More than 60 MPs demanded action to be taken," Clarkson wrote halfway through the statement shared on Instagram.

Amazon Prime have previously declined to comment when approached by the Mirror regarding the future of Clarkson's Farm on the streaming platform.
