Farmer Wants A Wife star is caught FAKING his living situation

A Farmer Wants a Wife star is caught using someone else’s farm to court his contestants on the dating show.

Dairy farmer Harry, was introduced on the show as the owner of a farm in Gloucester, New South Wales, but The Herald Sun has since revealed that his property is more than 900 kilometers away in Kyabram, northern Victoria.

Seven confirmed in a statement to Daily Mail Australia that the farm Harry used was not his real property, but stressed that the show was not cheating viewers or its potential partners.

“Due to Covid, part of Harry’s Farmer Wants A Wife journey was filmed at a dairy farm near Gloucester,” a spokesperson said in a statement.

“The location of the farm did not affect the series as Harry’s ladies were able to experience life on a dairy farm with Harry, including the early morning start.”

Interestingly enough, the dating series never refers to the farm as its own, with voiceovers instead referring to “Farmer Harry” when the show cuts to its storyline.

This isn’t the first time the show has been accused of pulling the wool over viewers’ eyes by filming scenes in “fake” locations.

Last year, a viewer who lives in Orbost, the small Victorian town where farmer Matt Trewin lives, claimed they’ve never seen the so-called “local date destinations” in the series.

After watching Matt enjoy a rendezvous at his ‘local pub’, the frustrated viewer wrote on Instagram: ‘I live in Orbost and I can tell you that the pub in tonight’s episode is definitely not the pub in Orbost .’

The resident went on to claim that the picturesque winery where Matt took frontrunner Tara on a date “wouldn’t be within 100 miles of Orbost either.”

Elsewhere, the same viewer accused producers of bringing in paid actors to “live up” the pub scene, claiming that none of the “locals” in the episode were “Orbost people.”

Farmer Wants A Wife continues on Channel Seven on Sunday at 7pm.
