Love in the Country has cast a Donegal contestant for season two.

Ollie Hepburn, originally from Raphoe but residing in the Glen of Glenties, has been cast to find love on the hit show. ‘Texas’ Ollie is 70 and he is a horse trick trainer who has traveled the world, loves country music and wants to find a special lady to share his life with.

Alongside Ollie, five more contestants will spend the Summer of ‘24 looking for love. They include Lisa and Danielle who are both 34 and from Laois, Ger who is 44 from Cork, 42-year-old Brenda from Galway and Mike who is 29 and from Kerry.

Presented by Anna Geary the six-part series pairs rural singletons with individuals happy to experience the charms of country living. “It’s very exciting to get back on the road, traveling the length and breadth of Ireland, helping people of all ages find love,” Anna Geary said. “I get to be almost like their wingwoman, their confidante, cheering them on.”

Season one aired last year and season two has just finalised the casting so a release date is not available at this time. If you would like to go on a date with one of the singletons, check out the entertainment page on RTÉ.ie to view their profile videos! You can apply to take part by emailing here with the name of the contestant you are applying to date in the subject line.
