There’s drama on Harry’s farm this week as the truth about Gabrielle’s feelings for him comes out.
In this week’s episodes of Farmer Wants A Wife, student pilot Gabrielle is settling in at Harry’s home in Kyabram, Victoria, despite having made it clear to the other girls at the speed dating that she’s not as interested in Harry as they are.
Harry has no idea what’s gone on, but can sense the tension.
“You could definitely feel something was in the air,” he tells TV WEEK.

When Harry finds out what Gabrielle has said to the other girls, it comes as a blow.
“It kind of sucks to hear that, especially because I had those feelings for her. I was into her and then to find out that she didn’t have quite the same attraction… it was pretty hard to take, really.”
Harry then finds himself wondering: should he just send Gabrielle home?
“Do I throw it all away? Because sending someone home is a pretty big deal.”
At 23, Harry is the youngest farmer looking for love this season, but he’s ready for commitment.
Harry and the other contestants enjoyed a group dinner date.

“I think there’s a bit of an advantage to finding the love of your life in your early twenties because you get to spend more time with them.”
Sadly, Harry’s parents’ loving relationship was cut short when his father passed away five years ago. He had a heart attack and “dropped dead” at Dairy Week, where the family had been planning to compete in events.
Harry had said goodbye to his father before going to work that morning, never suspecting that it would be the last time he saw him.
“It was two weeks before I went to uni,” he remembers. “Kyabram was so good when we lost Dad. We didn’t need to cook for bloody weeks. Everyone kept dropping food off. I think that’s what you get in a small community. That’s what makes it so special.”
He says the loss of his father shaped him.
“I think it’s made me appreciate a lot of things in life. It’s a s–t thing to happen to anyone, but you’ve got to try and take those lessons that you learnt and make sure that you left everything said.
“When you’ve got feelings for someone, you put it out there, because you never know when it might be the last time you get to see them.”
