The Bachelor Australia is set to air on Wednesday, 21 July at 7.30pm on 10 and 10 Play, as 31-year-old pilot Jimmy Nicholson goes on a quest for real love.
On board this romantic journey are some of Australia’s most eligible Bachelorettes including Lily, a Crane Operator, Brooke an Occupational Therapist, Marketing Manager Holly and Nutritionist Jay.
Who will surprise Jimmy when the Bachelorettes put their best heels forward, to secure their first class ticket to love?
10 described Nicholson as a self-confessed romantic, who is an intelligent and passionate go-getter who is ready to find his happily ever after.
On being the next Bachelor, Nicholson said: “I am a big believer in embracing any opportunity that presents itself, especially if it has the potential to change your life for the better.
“The journey ahead will be one of the most challenging experiences that I have ever undertaken, however, I am very excited to meet someone that I could potentially spend the rest of my life with.”
Past seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette Australia franchises have resulted in love matches for Tim and Anna, Sam and Snezana, Georgia and Lee, Matty J and Laura.
