CHANNEL 5’s head of programming has raged ‘it really gets on my t**s!’ after Our Yorkshire Farm has been repeatedly snubbed.
Ben Frow thinks that the reason the popular show has never won an award is down to “snobbery”.

The TV boss has shared his disappointment at how the free-to-air television network seems to lose at award ceremonies.
“It really gets on my t*ts. We should have won channel of the year years before we did,” Ben previously told the Radio Times.
He has also spoke about his frustration at how popular show Our Yorkshire Farm has never won a gong.
The TV boss revealed that he has compared Our Yorkshire Farm’s ratings to similar shows, and the Channel 5 programme always comes on top.

Our Yorkshire Farm premiered in 2018.
The show follows the lives of Amanda and Clive Owen on Ravenseat Farm in Swaledale with her nine children – Raven, Reuben, Miles, Edith, Violet, Sidney, Annas, Clementine and Nancy.
However she was shown before starring in her own show for her Twitter feed under the handle The Yorkshire Shepherdess.
The couple hit headlines last month after Amanda split from her husband of 21 years after ‘growing close to cameraman’.

Season five followed the family through the second lockdown during the worst winter months.
Earlier this month the TV star opened up her “chaotic” home life after their split.
Speaking at The Game Fair, the Yorkshire Shepherdess confessed: “My home life is busy and chaotic, but my work life is solitary.
“Too much of each one is not good, but living in a remote place gives me peace and quiet.”
Amanda added of her surroundings: “You can lose yourself and distance yourself from everyone and everything.
“Once I go out of that door to work it is back to basics.”
