The Bachelor franchise is the gift that keeps on giving, and giving, and giving.
It feels as though there’s rarely a time when one of the shows, whether it be The Bachelor, The Bachelorette or Bachelor In Paradise, is screening on TV.
With viewers currently watching as Bachelor hunk Locky tries to find love in the pandemic, our next season of The Bachelorette, a double whammy with sisters Elly and Becky Miles, is close to follow.
So Bachelor In Paradise should be far from our minds, but alas, fans have already been digging for gossip about the 2021 season.
Now it seems we may have our first clue hinting at who will be heading to Paradise next.
Well-known gossip podcast So Dramatic! has uncovered a Facebook post from Chelsie McLeod, who found love with Matt Agnew during last year’s season before the couple split up, that suggests she may have secretly signed onto the show.
The posts reveals that Chelsie is advertising her apartment to sublet for a three month stay. And interestingly, Bachelor in Paradise is usually filmed across a three-month period.
Alex Nation, who won over Bachelor Richie Strahan before their tumultuous post-show split, immediately put her hand up for a return to Paradise upon hearing the news of Chelsie’s reported sign-on.
“Sing me up if so @chelsiemcleod” she commented on the So Dramatic! post.
According to The Wash, “key alumni (aka the bigger names)” have been approached about signing on for this season.
It’s likely, however, to look very different from those past seasons, which were filmed in idyllic Fiji.
With COVID restrictions prohibiting domestic travel, let alone international travel, just where filming will take place is yet to be confirmed.
“Noosa has been discussed as a potential location, depending on what happens with Queensland’s border and if they can get the cast and crew there,” an insider told the publication.
