So, remember Claire Hampson? The sweet, soft-spoken queen who had Farmer Thomas looking like a love-struck ‘golden retriever’ on Farmer Wants A Wife 2025? Yeah, she’s officially done with reality TV and the reasons are juicier than you’d think.
While the rumour mill reckons Claire was ~this~ close to making a surprise return for a dramatic showdown with fellow contestant Clarette (who’s basically been auditioning to be the queen of stage five clingers), PEDESTRIAN.TV can confirm that producers were keen as mustard to cook up a spicy rivalry — at least according to inside sources. But Claire? Not interested.
“She didn’t feel like her connection with Farmer Thomas was strong enough to stick around,” one behind the scenes source told PEDESTRIAN.TV. “And she definitely wasn’t ‘vibing’ with being roped into some producer-manufactured drama for the cameras.”
Farmer Thomas and Claire Hampson were paired up on Farmer Wants A Wife 2025.
Instead of playing along, Claire packed her bags and peaced out! On her own terms. Respect. “They called her more than once but the answer was always no!” a source alleged.
Despite Channel Seven trying to woo her back for some final-episode fireworks, she politely declined. Why? Because the whole experience wasn’t really what she’d signed up for. “It was way more contrived than she imagined,” one insider said. “She’s totally at peace with her decision to leave.”
Leaving Clarette to have Farmer Thomas all to herself.
Now back home and in her job, Claire was embracing the quiet life. However, Claire recently had a bit of a tech nightmare. Her Instagram was hacked in a weird fake podcast giveaway scam (???) and the whole thing completely rattled her.
“She was super overwhelmed,” a friend said. “She’s changed all her passwords and is officially logging off from the public being able to access her account.”
Not only was she mortified that her following was being spammed with requests to make her a ‘podcast star’, something she had zero interest in, it was a massive invasion of her privacy. The ultimate ick off the back of her 15 minutes of fame.
“Thankfully her closest friends recognised the hack and didn’t interact with the scam that could have had her whole following losing their Instagram,” her mate said.
Regaining access to her platform was not only an opportunity to reset her password but to reset her life and wish the remaining season of Farmer Wants A Wife well.
“You spend months on these shows and get very little back. The truth is Claire felt more self conscious than most reality TV participants and this has been a massive learning curve,” a source close to Claire added.
And in case you’re wondering whether she’d ever consider another go at the ‘reality TV rodeo?’ That’s a hard no from Claire.
“She’s done. Moving on. Reality TV is in her rear-view mirror,” the friend said.
Honestly? Fair play.
