And while theories are flying as to who this year’s leading lad will be, the show’s much loved host Osher Gunsberg has dropped a massive clue about what we can expect.
“I’m pretty sure he’s gonna be, you know, taller than me,” The Bachelor host joked to the Daily Telegraph‘s Stellar On Friday supplement.

While Osher isn’t going into too many specifics, the 46-year-old presenter has revealed that’s because he’s usually one of the last people on the team to find out who the Bachelor is.
“They honestly don’t tell me who it is,” Günsberg explained to the outlet.
“I think they like me to get surprised and be genuinely excited to meet someone for the first time on camera. So, like you guys, I also don’t know.”

But after shocking claims Ash took intimate screenshots of a woman without her consent, which is currently under investigation in a legal case, came to light the network were reportedly forced to sever all ties with the star.

“Australia will be very happy with our gentleman,” Monaghan added.
And when pressed if viewers will recongise who this year’s Bachie is, Monaghan responded: “Not yet. But you will, and I think he’s a fantastic get for the franchise.”
