‘Thank goodness, wasn’t the same without Nat,’ wrote another.

Natalie won over fans when the show debuted in 2007.
She went on the host the show until 2012, before heading to Nine.
She returned to Seven and the dating show in 2020.
Outgoing Farmer Wants A Wife host Samantha shocked fans in August when she stepped down from Seven after 21 years, with rumours rife about her next step.

Her new TV gig on The Golden Bachelor was finally unveiled last year.
An insider described Samantha’s new hosting job as a ‘smart move’ and said she was ‘well-suited’ to the concept after ‘breathing new life’ into Seven’s dating show FWAW.
Unlike The Bachelor and The Bachelorette which feature young men and women, the Golden Bachelor is targeted at a more mature audience eager to watch how those who have already experienced great love and loss are chasing companionship.
