Farmer Neil: ‘My ex-wife is on the show!’

The reality star has a shock revelation! - by New Idea
  • 27 Jul 2020

For Goulburn farmer Neil Crookwell, 43, appearing on Farmer Wants a Wife is his second chance at finding love.

WATCH: Meet Neil from Farmer Wants a Wife

The divorced father of three is still close to his ex-wife and hoped she and the kids would be on-board with him dating on TV.

“Not surprisingly, with three teenage kids, when the news broke to them, their first thoughts were all about themselves,” Neil laughs. “And whether or not their Instagram profiles were good enough to be on TV.”

Neil says it was important that the mother of his children was there throughout the journey.

“My three kids and Sally, my ex-wife, were the first people I spoke to,” he admits.

“If they weren’t aligned with the idea and I didn’t have their support, it just wouldn’t have been possible.”
