So far, Australia has been pretty spoilt with successful Bachelor couples.
Aside from the incident with ‘He Who Shall Not Be Named’ *cough Blake* and a few strays along the way, our Bachelors and Bachelorettes have done well. We’ve even got a couple of engagement rings and a baby to prove it.
Now, parched Bachelor fans have a new reality TV dating show to look forward to – our very own version of Bachelor In Paradise.
Set to be a glorious hybrid of The Bachelor, Big Brother, I’m A Celebrity and Love Island, hype has been building for weeks since Network 10 first revealed the successful American Bach spin-off would be hitting our shores.
Finally, 10 has given our sad souls a scrap of hope, serving up six of the dozen or so former Bachelor/Bachelorette favourites who will be endeavouring to find love on a tropical island in 2018.
With Tara Pavlovic (Bachelor season five), Keira Maguire (Bachelor season four), Davey Lloyd (Bachelorette season one), Apollo Jackson (Bachelorette season three), Laurina Fleure (Bachelor season two) and Michael Turnbull (Bachelorette season one) locked in and ready to feel the love, Australians – including us – are already blocking out a solid six months of mental space to dedicate to their on-screen escapades.
REVEALING: Tara, Keira, Davey, Michael, Apollo and Laurina are headed to paradise! #BachelorInParadiseAU. ???????? pic.twitter.com/1lwio7Pk3B
