Meet the blonde beauty looking for love on The Farmer Wants a Wife

Blonde beauty Lucy Holland is one of the contestants vying for the heart of sheep farmer Andrew Guthrie on the upcoming season of Farmer Wants a Wife. 

Lucy told The West Australian she didn’t actually sign up for the Channel Seven dating show herself, but her friends did it as a ‘joke’ on her behalf.

‘I actually didn’t apply, I sort of got dobbed in for it,’ she said. 

Lucy explained her friend signed her up to be a farmer rather than as a contestant, but then producers actually came calling.

‘It was sort of a funny joke, and I wasn’t going to follow through with it, and then in the email they were like, “We are really keen for you to sign up anyway,”‘ she said.

Lucy hails from Geraldton in Western Australia and has been single for three years. 

She will be matched with sheep farmer Andrew Guthrie, 30, who hails from Delegate, which is on the border of NSW and Victoria.

According to his Farmer Wants a Wife profile, Andrew is looking for a woman who is ‘easy-going, loyal and independent’.

He added that in five years, he hopes to be married or engaged with children. 

‘Love isn’t something that can be forced between two people. It’s something that starts small and grows in time for the right reasons,’ Andrew added.  

Last month, The Daily Telegraph reported Andrew had ‘fallen head over heels’ with one of the contestants he was matched with on the show.  

The new farmers who are appearing on this season are Andrew, Matt Trewin, Will Dwyer, Sam Messina and Rob Campbell.

The new season of the show is set to premiere on Sunday, July 4 on Channel Seven.
