It’s not too long now until our first dose of Bachie Fever arrives with Bachelor in Paradise Australia, and now three new castmates have just been announced to get us even more excited.
You’ll remember these familiar faces – Lisa Hyde (from Blake Garvey’s season), Florence Moerenhout (from Matty Johnson’s season) and Ali Oetjen (the runner-up from Tim Robards’ season).
These three ladies join magician/the Hulk’s actual body double Apollo Jackson (Sophie Monk’s season), Davey Lloyd and Michael Turnbull (Sam Frost’s season), yoga-loving mean girl Keira Maguire (Richie’s season), ‘dirty street pie’ Laurina Fleure (Blake’s season), the loveable Tara Pavlovic (Matty J’s season), and #plantgate Jarrod Woodgate (Sophie’s runner-up).
L-R: Ali, Florence and Lisa.
“I’m excited to see some similar faces and reminisce on fun memories from The Bachelor,” Lisa, 30, says about the exciting journey ahead.
“Super excited to relax and potentially make some new friends and fingers crossed find love.”
With both Laurina and Keira going to paradise, we can already guess there’s going to be drama. But Lisa doesn’t want to be part of it.
“I don’t like nastiness. I don’t like people going out of their way to make other people feel bad or insecure and I think if I saw that it would probably get under my skin, whether it was me or someone else,” she says.
Florence is also “drama-free” but is eager to see if Keira is going to play nice with others.
“I’m kind of excited to get to know her because I reckon she is bit of a legend and not the mean girl that everyone is claiming.

“I’m drama free but if someone wants to push my buttons I will tell them off, I say it how it is. I’ve always done that but it never comes to a confrontation,” Flo continues.
While Lisa says there’s no guy in particular that she’s hoping is on the show, Florence is already keen on Davey.
“I like Davey Lloyd. I follow him on Instagram, we’ve chatted for a bit and I would love to see him here but other than that I don’t really know any of the other guys,” she says.
“It’s not like I’m not shutting everyone else out, but it is just that I know who Davey is and I find him really attractive. He is hot and funny. That is my only criteria.”
We cannot WAIT!
