Amanda Owen's 'scary medical emergency' as one of children airlifted to hospital

has told how she was thrown into the midst of a terrifying ordeal recently when one of her children was air lifted to hospital.

The Our Yorkshire Farm star, 48, shares her nine-strong brood with ex Clive.

And despite being well versed in the woes of parenting, Amanda told how it was nevertheless “scary” when one of their children was taken ill.

The 48-year-old mother-of-nine (there’s Raven, Reuben, Miles, Edith, Violet, Sidney, Annas, Clementine and Nancy, aged from 21 to five) told how one of the drawbacks of living on their super remote farm, Ravenseat, was the distance they find themselves from urgent help when it is needed.

Amanda, AKA the Yorkshire Shepherdess, explained how an emergency occurred on the farm in the run up to Christmas.

Amanda Owen told how one of her nine children was rushed to hospital in an air ambulance

She told Times Radio : "Three weeks before Christmas, we had another medical emergency on the farm.

“And that was a scary one whereby one of the children was taken ill and that involved a helicopter coming, the air ambulance coming to pick us up...people say it must be amazing living rural, living the way you do.

“That's one of the drawbacks."

A few weeks later, disaster struck again when the farm was left without water or electricity.

She told fans it just "wouldn't be Christmas" without the mishap as her son Reuben, 18, jumped in his digger to help out.

Taking to sharing pics of the teen in a tractor, she said: "It just wouldn't be Christmas without there being either no water or no electricity.

"Cue everyone to stare despondently into a hole in the ground. Apart from Reuben who is in his element."
