Channel Seven suffers embarrassing blunder in Farmer Wants a Wife promo: 'Who are those girls?'

He was one of the farmer's looking for love on the new season of Farmer Wants a Wife before he was axed from the show. But on Tuesday, photos linked to contestant Jack Rowlandson accidentally ended up on the show's social media pages. Seven has since taken the pictures down after fans pointed out the blunder on the FWAW Instagram and Facebook accounts. Before the new series dropped in April, Daily Mail Australia revealed that Rowlandson had filmed episodes of the show before he was edited out of the series. The tell-tale pictures show three 'mystery women' joining the shows ladies for the Country Ball episode which screened on Monday. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Who are the two girls behind Thomas' ladies, maybe the farmer that got edited out?' one eagle-eyed fan commented after the snap was shared to Facebook. 'I'm wondering too,' commented another viewer on the same thread. One fan jumped to the conclusion that the women were linked to Jack's storyline. 'Maybe they forgot to edit out the girls with the farmer who was booted out?' they commented. Viewers watching the series have not seen any footage of Jack or his ladies. Seven deleted the photo showing the unknown women on Tuesday morning. It comes after FWAW made headlines earlier this year. Daily Mail Australia recently revealed that there had been a fifth farmer in the mix for the 2025 season. However Jack, 26, was cut from the show's final edit. The professional bull rider was not part of the cast when Seven officially announced the farmers starring on the show, but was in the final eight lineup. Daily Mail Australia had previously revealed there was turmoil on the set of the bucolic dating show when it emerged that the handsome reality star was seeing more than one of the contestants at the same time. Originally eight farmers, including Rowlandson, were announced as taking part in filming for the 2025 season, while Seven sifted through thousands of applicants from women wanting to appear on the show as contestants.

Farmer Wants A Wife fans slam glaring detail following Thomas' heartfelt apology to Clarette: 'They are just playing the game'

Farmer Wants A Wife fans are up in arms following Monday night's bombshell episode, pointing out a baffling detail in the latest season. The 13th episode saw Thomas, 35, make a dramatic comeback to the show just 24 hours after blindsiding his ladies by abruptly storming off the farm. Clarette, Rachael, Jess and Laura were left visibly stunned when the farmer made a late entrance at the glitzy Country Ball, having had zero contact with them since vanishing in the heat of the moment. 'I'm really sorry about how it all ended,' Thomas said, pulling Clarette aside the moment he arrived. 'I shouldn't be storming out.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Still reeling from their argument, Clarette told Thomas she felt betrayed after discovering he'd been messaging his ex, Claire, despite insisting their connection was over. 'I was so upset because I thought Claire was no longer an issue for us,' she said. But Thomas was quick to shut down any lingering doubts. 'I mean it, I swear. The contact's deleted. No contact at all,' he insisted. His emotional plea seemed to work, with Clarette accepting his apology before the pair sealed their reconciliation with a passionate kiss. However, despite Clarette's 'forgive and forget' attitude, fans aren't so quick to breeze passed a glaring detail. Despite Farmer Thomas' obvious preference towards frontrunner Clarette and the on-and-off screen connection they share, the other three women continue to stick around. Fans flooded social media questioning why the other ladies even bother staying on the show - and why Thomas hasn't put his eggs in one basket and called it a day. Fans flooded social media questioning why the other ladies even bother staying on the show - and why Thomas hasn't put his eggs in one basket and called it a day 'Why are Thomas's ladies even there? Clarette is obviously his one. I, for one, would leave,' one person wrote on Facebook. Another chimed in: 'Totally are all giving Clarette grief, but I think they are having a relationship and they are just playing the game for the show.' Other fans poured into the comment section of the show's Instagram page to share their predictions regarding the pairing. 'Thomas picks Charette and I don't know why the other ladies are still there I feel sorry for the other ladies,' one wrote. 'He is incredibly awkward. I can't watch him anymore, let Clarette have him, gets these other deserving girls off the hook,' another said. 'He and Clarette deserve each other, all the other ladies have all been too good for him,' someone else savagely penned. Thomas' shock reunion sent ripples through the group on Monday night, with Jess later pulling the farmer aside for a serious chat. She admitted she felt like she was wasting her time competing for attention and hinted at a possible exit from the show. Despite the drama, Thomas went on to select Clarette for his next one-on-one date, proving he's all in on making their relationship work. His surprise return, heartfelt apology, and bold decision to double down on Clarette has well and truly reignited the race for love - and thrown the farm doors wide open for more drama.

Taskmaster creator Alex Horne hosts competition at care home

The 46-year-old comedian visited a care home in Adderbury where he set a series of challenges that saw four residents compete against each other. The tasks included identifying everything related to pineapples and residents closing their eyes and raising their hand when they thought one minute had passed. The competitors also had a plate of sweets they had to transfer to another plate with only a straw, with the final task involving residents building the tallest tower using spaghetti and marshmallows. 'I've done Taskmaster with kids in schools, stags and hens in pubs, boys and girls in scout huts, executives in offices and over a hundred comedians on telly over the last 10 years, but this was perhaps the most memorable task session for me,' said Horne. 'The four contestants were as competitive as anyone I've tested before, and they demonstrated different ways of lateral thinking, as well as some creative interpretations of my rules.' Resident Ruth Johnson, aged 100, said: 'At first I didn't know what was expected of us, and I wondered what we'd need to do with all of that spaghetti. 'Alex was so nice. I thought I had met him before, but I think I just knew him from the television.' Wojciech Kuczkowski, general manager at Seccombe Court, said: 'The residents love to watch Taskmaster and we wanted to give them a chance to take on the challenges for themselves. 'All four competitors did an amazing job, and it was great to see their competitive spirits come out. I'd like to extend a big thank you to Alex for joining us and hosting our challenge.' The original version of Taskmaster was created by Horne as a live show for the 2010 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It first aired on UKTV's Dave in 2015 before moving to Channel 4 in 2019. The comedy gameshow sees five celebrities compete in a series of bizarre challenges presented to them by the Taskmaster Greg Davies, with Horne as his assistant.
