13 different singles from the Bachelor and Bachelorette Australia will return to Aussie screens on Wednesday, July 15 at 7:30 pm when Bachelor In Paradise returns for its new season on 10.
Fresh-faced and full of hope, the fate of these singles is written in the white sandy shores of Fiji. And while some will meet their perfect match, others will find themselves in nothing but trouble in Paradise.
It has been announced that joining the white shores of Fiji is Jake, who narrowly missed out on Bachelorette Georgia’s heart, before finding love with Megan on season one of Bachelor In Paradise.
Also joining the cast, are Glenn and Niranga from Angie Kent‘s season of The Bachelorette Australia, and quirky children’s entertainer Janey, from Richie‘s season of The Bachelor Australia.
Joining Jake, Glenn, Niranga and Janey in Paradise, are previously announced singles: Abbie, Brittany, Brittney, Cassandra, Ciarran, Helena, Jamie, Mary and Timm, as well as late arrival Keira.
