Amanda Owen, known as the Yorkshire Shepherdess, has shared an update on her son Miles following a critical health episode this summer. The 19-year-old was hospitalised after experiencing a severe health crisis, which required an ambulance and emergency care. Miles, who has type 1 diabetes, confirmed he had been "quite poorly" and thanked NHS staff for their treatment.
This incident, which led to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), was previously documented in the series Reuben Owen: Life in the Dales. His father, Clive, described the harrowing moments of finding Miles struggling to breathe. Miles has chosen to share his story publicly to educate others about the potentially life-threatening condition.
Now recovering at home, Miles is assisting his mother with the renovation of their farmhouse. The family's ongoing renovation projects and life on the farm are featured in the More4 series Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and the Kids.
