Farmers find love on show

THE BBC has unveiled a new dating show – with Sara Cox helping farmers to find love.

The DJ and presenter, 42, will host the series, matching singletons in the countryside with city dwellers looking for romance – as well as a new life.

Airing on BBC2, Love In The Countryside is being billed as a “warm-hearted show… that promises life-changing romance”.

Urbanites who “want to escape to the country and fall in love” are being invited to apply.

Wendy, a 59-year-old pig farmer, and Ed, a 25-year-old dairy farmer who wants to have his own family, are among those on the show.
