Country musician Sam McClymont has been named as host of the new season of The Farmer Wants a Wife.
In her first television presenting role, The McClymonts' band member will guide six farmers on their quest to find a wife.
McClymont, with her sisters Brooke and Mollie, grew up in Grafton in northern NSW.
McClymont, daughter to a butcher and a hairdresser was raised on a music diet of country and Top 40 radio.
She was signed to Universal Music in 2006 after she won the Toyota Star Maker talent contest at the Tamworth Country Music Festival.
The McClymonts, with Sam on bass and vocals, have gone on to release multiple top-selling albums and tour extensively throughout Australia and the USA, where they have opened for some of the biggest names in country music, including Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan.
McClymont said she thrilled to be joining Farmer Wants a Wife.
"I’ve been a fan since it began. The thing that has struck a chord with me, and I think the TV audience, is that the men and women going on this show are genuinely looking for real love," she said.
“Being newly married, I look forward to helping these farmers and ladies find that special someone, and hopefully we can add some more marriages and babies to the show’s amazing success rate.”
Nine’s new production executive, Stuart Clark, said he was thrilled to have Sam on board helping six farmers on their quest for true love.
"She’s a country girl, a great musical talent, and the perfect host to guide our famers through the trials and tribulations of finding love on the land,” he said.
Production will start next week.
