Returning host Samantha Armytage and co-host Natalie Gruzlewski play Cupid once again as they guide the new crop of farmers on their journey to find true love, as well as reunite with favourite past farmers.
Mediaweek caught up with series EP Ewa Dobrowolska to chat about the new season and while she couldn’t reveal any surprises in store, she did tease that one farmer on the show is pretty popular.
“Farmer Bert is one of the most sought-after farmers we’ve ever had in the history of the show,” she said.
“Firstly, he’s our first-ever pineapple farmer, but secondly, he’s had the most number of applications for a single farmer out of all the seasons. To put that into context, the amount of women who applied to date Bert was more than the total number of applications that all of last year’s farmers combined got.”
