Samantha Armytage Leaves Channel 7 After 21 Years

Samantha Armytage has announced her departure from Channel Seven after 21 years, with her contract expiring in October. The 47-year-old host of 'Farmer Wants A Wife' stated her decision was made with the support of her husband and was driven by a desire for personal fulfillment. She described her departure as 'sad and bittersweet' but expressed excitement for her future, emphasizing that this is merely the end of a chapter. Armytage, who has been a prominent figure at Seven since 2003, will still attend the upcoming Logies where her show is nominated for Best Structured Reality Program, but will not return for the next series. Natalie Gruzlewski is set to take over hosting duties when the show returns in 2025. Armytage's contributions over the years have been acknowledged as significant, particularly in portraying rural Australian life through her work.
