Farmer Bert says goodbye
Pineapple and dragon fruit farmer Bert Harris says he has no regrets about his time on this year’s TV series of Farmer Wants a Wife, even though he remained single when he exited the TV series.
More than a week has passed since viewers saw Bert farewell his final three contestants, with the Wamuran-based farmer saying on screen: “I think all the girls are wonderful, but I don’t have what it takes to be in a relationship right now.”
In a follow-up interview with The Sentinel, Bert said a lot of positives came out of the experience, regardless of the ending. He also made it clear that he is not in a relationship at the moment.
“(It’s) a bit of a weight off my shoulders, now that everyone knows what happened,” he said.
He added one of the “good things” from his experience on TV was becoming mates for life with the other farmers who were on the show, saying they chatted regularly.
Although saying he was “laying low, taking care of the farm,” he added he was still open to being in a relationship and that hopefully it could happen “when the timing’s right”.
Bert ended by saying he has no regrets about being on the show.
“Anything you do helps build who you are,” he said.
