It’s the country’s most wholesome search for love, a far cry from the sordid scandals of Nine’s Married At First Sight, but Woman’s Day can exclusively reveal that Seven’s new instalment of Farmer Wants A Wife is about to be shrouded in controversy!
Last year, fans were ecstatic when six handsome farmers were unveiled ahead of the show’s planned April launch, but when TV scheduling was thrown out the window following the COVID-19 pandemic, Farmer Jack disappeared, too!
The show’s current line-up now only teases five farmers, with Jack Beaton, 27, strangely missing.
The sheep farmer was originally meant to be appearing on the show before he was swiftly pulled by production.
Speaking exclusively to Woman’s Day, the Victoria-based hopeful revealed he has been gagged by the show’s crew from speaking about his mysterious disappearance, but teased there was lots to say.

“I’m still unable to talk about it,” he nervously confessed last week.
Jack starred in a promo video for the Channel Seven show last year.

Jack says he is “unable” to reveal what really happened.
(Image: Channel Seven)While Jack hinted that he is desperate to talk about the situation, a network spokesperson insisted Jack’s removal from the show was a regular outcome in the early stages of development.
“It’s common practice for production to have back-up cast members for many reasons,” says a Seven spokesperson.
“Farmer Wants A Wife has had back-up farmers since the first season. If Farmer Jack’s situation remains the same, he will most definitely be considered when casting future seasons.”
