In what could be one of the juiciest bombshells in the history of FWAW Australia, it’s been reported that Farmer Bert will leave the show single, and he’s now dating one of his eliminated Ladies.

For weeks, there’s been a rumour floating around that Bert chose to leave the farm alone. Brooke, Karli and Caitlin are all still in the running for the Farmer’s heart, but if reports are to believed, he won’t end up with any of them.

A source told Yahoo Lifestyle Australia that Bert “was done being a puppet for the producers on his farm,” who encouraged drama.

“Farmer Bert was really sweet and it was sad to see him being treated like a prop. These two male producers had come from filming FBoy Island and obviously wanted conflict.”

“He actually felt uncomfortable with his producers and their suggestions on how to handle the remaining women,” they added. “He no longer felt like he could go on and pretend just for the show.”

Farmer Bert is rumoured to be dating one of his eliminated Ladies

Yup, not only is Bert leaving FWAW, but he’s apparently struck up a relationship with one of the Ladies that he already eliminated on the show.

The same publication reported that Bert is now in a relationship with Lauren, who chose to quit FWAW when the intruders arrived.

“The show was filmed late last year and while viewers will have their own ideas on who he might have genuinely liked they will be surprised to know he has been romancing one girl who had already left,” the insider said.

They added that Bert was “strong-armed into letting her go [by producers].”

However, it sounds as though the Farmer has found his happily-ever-after with Lauren.

“Farmer Bert is a good guy, and he will have no problems finding someone once the show finishes,” a close friend told the publication. “But he has gotten closer to Lauren and they have been keeping things quiet. I’d say he was fed up with production, and knew he made a mistake letting her leave and was waiting to reconnect.

“He has been in contact with some of the others but it will be Lauren that he picks moving forward. It’s not Karli Hinkley or Caitlin Crank, who many viewers will know he had been spending more on screen time with.”
