Celebs on the Farm is a British reality show hosted by Stephen Bailey, challenging celebrities with real-life farm activities. It’s normal if you’re a farmer, but it’s unusual for glamourous celebs to get down and dirty. For the viewers, it’s hilarious to watch.

Seasoned reality stars Holly Hagan and Montana Brown will be there to accept the challenges too.
Alongside them, Harry Aryeetey has taken a break from his athlete identity to become your favourite farmer.
He has not been on any reality shows before, so get to know him here!

Who is Harry Aikines-Aryeetey’s family?
There isn’t much information on Harry’s family since he has kept his private life under wraps. His social media mainly focuses on his rigorous routine and training as a sprinter.

In September 2020, the couple welcomed their baby daughter Aubreé-Isla. He entered the farm six weeks after the birth of his child and revealed the challenge of leaving so soon.
He said:
It was quite difficult being away to be fair, because through that stage, they are growing quite a bit, their face changes by the day. So it kind of got me ready for what I need to do because obviously, come the season when I do the Olympics, I’ll be away as well.
