Farmer Wants A Wife FWAW Jack Rowlandson axed Charlotte Martin

Rumoured Farmer Wants A Wife contestant Charlotte Martin has slammed production and her farmer for how she was treated while filming last year. 

According to former FWAW contestant Daisy Lamb, Charlotte was on Farmer Jack Rowlandson’s farm, but his entire storyline has been cut from the show. Daily Mail reported earlier this year that the farmer was axed from the Seven show after he was caught knocking boots with multiple women at the same time.

Charlotte shared a lengthy statement on Instagram about how she was “failed” by FWAW and gave some insight into what really happened with Farmer Jack.

“In light of the ‘genuine, wholesome love show’ that’s currently airing, I feel compelled to share the truth behind the scenes. This is far from what they show. The experience with Seven and this company has left me with deep emotional trauma that I’ve had to face since filming wrapped at the end of last year,” she claimed.

“What was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity turned into a traumatic ordeal, and the pain has continued long after the cameras stopped rolling.

“For the eight weeks I was away from home, I was failed by this company in every sense. I walked away heartbroken, disgusted, and confused. I put my life on hold for a ‘farmer’ who didn’t deserve even the smallest amount of my heart. Preaching about honesty and loyalty, only to betray those values in the most profound way imaginable.”

The reality TV contestant took aim at the production team, saying they “broke numerous promises”. 

“The breaches of contract and the ongoing investigations led to our farm being completely cut from the show. Yet, not a single apology or compensation has been offered by Seven or the company,” she alleged.

Charlotte finished her statement with a warning to all Farmer Wants A Wife fans engrossed in this year’s season.

“Please, do not be deceived by what you see on screen this season — or any season for that matter. What’s shown is only a fraction of the truth, and the reality behind the scenes is far darker than it appears,” she wrote.

The contestant also said she “can’t wait to share the truth,” before Daisy reposted Charlotte’s story. 

“My girl Charlotte was one of the girls on Jack Rowlandson’s farm that got cut from this year’s season. Can’t wait for her to share her story,” Daisy wrote.

Not much is known about Farmer Jack’s unaired storyline, but hopefully Charlotte and the other women will continue to drop more tidbits of information. 

Farmer Wants a Wife 2025 airs Mondays and Tuesdays on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
