Lisa Hogan has been confirmed as the host of ITV’s brand new dating series Farming for Love, with the channel also revealing the first group of single farmers.
ITV has now released the line-up, along with short biographies of the four contestants hoping to find romance on the show.
Viewers are also being invited to apply, with producers encouraging potential suitors to get involved quickly.
The idea is simple. Producers ask city daters to swap their usual lives for countryside living, including farms, wellies, and early mornings.
Here is everything confirmed so far.
Farming for Love on ITV: Lisa Hogan confirmed as host
Lisa Hogan fits Farming for Love naturally because she has real-life farming experience.
She is best known to viewers from Amazon Prime series Clarkson’s Farm, where she stars alongside her long-term partner Jeremy Clarkson.
Lisa is also closely involved in running the Diddly Squat Farm Shop and is regularly hands-on with day to day farm life.
ITV has chosen her to guide the farmers through their search for love, highlighting her humour and straight talking approach.
Lisa said: “Farming is a way of life that requires resilience, patience, a lot of humour, and the same can be said for relationships.
“What I love about Farming for Love is how real it is – there is no hiding or skiving on a farm and that is what makes it such an honest way for people to get to know each other that has had success around the world.
“I am really looking forward to leading this flock in their search for romance.”
Farming for Love on ITV: Who are the farmers?

- Chris, 68, from Yorkshire. A Golden Bachelor figure who lost his wife to cancer three years ago. He now hopes to find companionship again on the farm.
