Yep, it’s happening! After months of speculation Bachelor in Paradise has FINALLY been confirmed and we can’t wait.
Even though The Bachelor and The Bachelorette lovechild – which reunites former contestants for a second shot at love in paradise – hasn’t started filming yet, NW has ground-breaking intel on the new must-watch series…
Who’s in?
First up on the “hell yes” list is none other than Tara Pavlovic, 27.
The fan fave from Matty J’s season is ready to find love, and have fun along the way.
“Tara’s always said she wouldn’t want to be Bachelorette, but Bachelor in Paradise to her is the perfect opportunity to not only meet someone, but let her freak flag fly and have fun doing so,” one insider reveals.
“It’s way less serious and she’s all for it.”
As for her fellow Bachie babes, there’s talk that Simone Ormesher, 25, Florence Alexandra Sophia, 27, and Natalie Holmberg, 26 are all keen to sign on.
It’s also rumoured that Keira Maguire, 30, and Michael Turnbull, 36, will be coming face-to-face again after their rumoured hook-up ignited a bitter feud between the pair.
Plus, no doubt Keira would love to join the Aussie version after she was originally set to appear on the US version earlier this year before production was shut down following the DeMario Jackson and Corrine Olympios alleged sexual misconduct scandal.
Georgia Love’s potential BF-turned-BFF, Cam Cranley, 27, is also said to be keen on starring in the show – along with his unlucky-in-love mate Jake Ellis, 31. And what would the series be without Blake Garvey’s former flame Laurina Fleure, 34?
Of course not everyone is down for a second… or third shot at love.
In fact, love-rat Blake Garvey says there’s “no chance” he’ll join.
The show didn’t even get a “cool bananas” from Richie Strahan, 32, who tells NW “I’m 100% not doing this.”
Love triangles a plenty!
Given most of our Bach and Bachette cast-offs have already formed bonds over their experience on the show, it’s not all that shocking to learn that some of them have crossed the friendship line already!
“One of the guys has hooked up with multiple Bachelorettes already,” says the insider.
“It’ll be interesting to see how it all plays out between them if they all go to Paradise.” Er, Awkies!
Ratings winner
We’re already losing our minds that Bachelor in Paradise is headed Down Under, but things are about to get even better!
Rumour has it that US Bachelor alum Corinne, 24, is at the top of the casting wish list following the explosive sexual misconduct scandal with DeMario, 30, earlier this year.
And given Corinne’s bragged about her “platinum vagine”, there’s no doubt she’d send our Aussie boys wild!
“Producers want killer ratings, and they’re going to get them if they can get Corinne or DeMario to sign on,” says the insider. “So don’t expect to just see the Bach and Bachettes we’ve already grown to know and love from Australia.”
