Islanders have been sharing their views on a new reality show hosted by local farmer and Instagram sensation 'Jersey Cow Girl' Becky Houzé, after the first episode aired last week.
The first instalment of the eight-part 'Model Farmers' series went live on the Only Fans platform last Wednesday, with new episodes added to the OFTV app every week.
The show sees six Only Fans creators "swap their glam life for farm life" as they try to run a dairy farm in Jersey.
Under the watchful eye of fourth-generation dairy farmer, Becky Houzé, the contestants must muck-in with daily chores, such as cleaning slurry and "milking the girls".
The winners will take home the coveted crown of 'Model Farmers'.

In the first episode, the six contestants were in for a ‘cow-ture’ shock as they ‘moo-ved’ into the farm.
After swapping out their couture and heels for jumpsuits and rubber boots, the models were split into two teams and put to work on their first challenges: deep-cleaning a soiled cattle cart, and feeding dozens of hungry calves.
Becky took over the family dairy farm four years ago.
“I always wanted to take over my family business,” she says in the show. “I’m used to being a bit boisterous so I can put a good old sack of grain over my shoulder with a calf on my head and walk it up the yard.”

Commenting on the group of contestants, she said: “I do wonder how the girls are going to react to having 200 cows surrounding them.
“During the week, all the model farmers will be doing jobs that I actually do on the farm day to day, so it’s all real life farm jobs.
“It will be interesting to see for sure.”
Islanders took to social media to share their views on the first episode, with host Becky being described as a ‘legend’.
“I’m a Jersey bean so of course I watched it,” one viewer wrote. “Have to say I thought the girls did well...it was fun to watch…well done.”

“This is so awesome!” another commented. “Also you are KILLIN it as a TV host. I would have thought you were a pro!”
Meantime, one of the contestants, model Daisy Taylor wrote: “You were amazing!!! Thanks for allowing us to run wild around you farm.”
The show also features two previous Love Island stars, Shannon Singh and Danielle Sellers.
Others include Jessie Wynter, who appeared on the Australian version Love Island, fitness influencer Grace Moore and lifestyle blogger Shani Jamilah.
