Amanda, 50, split from the farmer in 2022 which resulted in the end of her family’s Channel 5 series.
The Sun then exposed her five-year fling with a 72-year-old web designer named Robert Davies.
However, Amanda has now revealed their relationship has ended – and they’re not on speaking terms.
Explaining her marriage breakdown, Amanda said: “Clive never liked me being away from the farm, and that led to arguments. I would return home not knowing what to expect or what his reaction would be. I’d feel the tension in the air and await the explosion.”
She continued to the Daily Mail: “During Covid we had no bookings and the quiet gave me a chance to write and gather my thoughts. I soon realised I was so much calmer spending time apart from Clive – we both were – and so I began to spend more and more time there.
“That’s when we both agreed we were better apart than together with the children spending time in either home as they wished.
“I never set out looking for another relationship. Rob [Davies] was a friend that Clive and I had both known for a long time. He put together the farm website and the digital aspect of the business, everything that we couldn’t do.
“What he offered was conversation rather than confrontation, and Clive knew about it from the very beginning – he actually suggested Rob and I would be a good match.
“At that point, a few years ago now, Clive was also seeing someone else and was openly dating. It wasn’t a secret, everyone roundabout knew, even the children.
“But the impact of my and Rob’s relationship was far-reaching for everyone involved.
“Rob and I were both shattered by the way the media pursued us and reported it, and as a result Rob and I are no longer together or in touch.”
Businessman Robert’s heartbroken wife also spoke out about their relationship, telling The Sun she had “lost everything”.
Amanda and Clive are reuniting for a brand new Channel 4 series which will see the entire family back on screens.
They appear on the channel’s digital station More4 show called Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids.
It comes after The Sun first revealed last year how Amanda was plotting her TV comeback.
