“Vile”: Nickia blasts Farmer Will over pregnancy scandal
Farmer Wants A Wife drama is continuing to heat up, after contestant Nickia slammed reality star Will Dwyer for his insensitive statement surrounding pregnancy rumours.
He has been embroiled in scandal for the last two weeks after another contestant, Hayley Love, revealed she and Dwyer had a short, tumultuous relationship after filming for the finale episode ended.
The fling quickly came to an abrupt end after she told him she was pregnant.
Dwyer had been at the receiving end of criticism, and his response to the allegations have left him in a less-than-favourable light with fans.
Taking to Instagram to share a vintage photo of his own father, he wrote, “My family is my world, and my parents were the perfect role models. When the time comes, I will be the best Dad I can be.
“If this is in fact my child, I’ll be there whenever the child needs me. Even if as parents we can’t be a couple, our family will be filled with love for our child.
“But one thing I learnt from my Father is that discretion is the better part of valour. I’m sad that this has played out in public. I want only the best for Hayley.
“I’ll say what needs to be said in private and let my deeds do the talking.”
Nickia, who is close friends with Hayley, 25, and is also a contestant on Farmer Wants A Wife, has berated Dwyer for his “vile” statement.

She said in an Instagram story that the 39-year-old should have stepped up when Hayley first revealed she was pregnant.
Nickia also accused him of “vile” private conversations with the pregnant contestant.
Referencing Dwyer’s choice of words, Nickia responded, “When the time comes? The time came six months ago buddy when Hayley fell pregnant.”

She added, “Majority of what Will has said ‘in private’ has been vile. And I know because I’ve read it.”
Hayley went public last week about her pregnancy, stating the rumours that had circulated for weeks, made her feel like an “absolute wreck”.
“I am speaking my truth before it gets misconstrued by the public and tabloids who don’t know the full story,” Hayley, who had been paired with farmer Matt Trewin for the show, explained.
“This is my story to tell.”
She also revealed that she would gladly raise the baby by herself.
“I’ve tried to keep things amicable with (Will), to be clear on what his involvement with our child will be,” she said.
“At the end of the day I have decided to keep the baby because I have enough love for this child with or without a biological father. I will be enough for him or her.”
The Farmer Wants A Wife reunion special is set to air next Wednesday August 11 on Seven.
All eyes will be watching Will, who during the finale, was loved-up with his original “pick”, Jaimee.
