Falls Creek goat farmer Caleb Graham brushed shoulders with Sophie Monk and her date, Blake, on the two and a half hour shoot.
“I met Sophie, we had a brief chat, and then when I left, she said, ‘See ya Caleb,’” he said.
“I thought credit to you, I was impressed that she knew my name.”
Blake was just as down to earth, asking Caleb and his friend to have lunch with him while Sophie was busy on camera.
“We had a big, long chat with him,” he said.
“When they’re not filming, the guys just hang out together like a footy team.”
Caleb brought his goats up to Windsor for the shoot, that had been lined up through a friend who heard production staff were searching for goats to use in a date.
The goats were very well behaved, and super cute on the screen.
“They weren’t camera shy,” Caleb said.
The date went well for Blake, the goats brought out his gentle side according to Sophie, who gave him a rose later in that episode.
But it wasn’t enough to redeem him in last night’s episode, where he was asked to leave the show after an awkward meet the family date.
Caleb runs a successful business with 400 goats at Maple Ridge farm.
From the 190 goats that he milks, he has been supplying three cheese-makers, his wife’s goat soap business and selling the milk at Harris Farm markets.
