According to an article in Sydney’s The Daily Telegraph over the weekend, a third of the contestants are from NSW and include fashion designer Pete, 32, ex-rugby player Ryan, 26, and voice artist Sam, 31. There’s also events manager Jefferson, 30, who grew-up in Italy, financial adviser James, 31, and business culture consultant Luke, 33.

Other contestants include Gold Coast magician, Apollo Jackson, 24, polo player Bingham Fitz-Henry, 25, and Western Australian ‘investor and entrepreneur’ Blake, 29. There’s also Victorian vineyard manager Jarrod, 31.

West Australian engineer Jamie is the oldest of the contestants at 37.

In late August, Ten released a trailer for the upcoming series where Monk, 37, explained how her public profile had prevented her from finding love.

“I know I’m not the typical Bachelorette. I’m 37. I’m a massive bogan. But I really hope Australia understands that I want to find something genuine and they back me on this and don’t think I’m a tool, to be honest,” she said.

“But I am so awkward [and] the worst flirt you’ve ever met. I get really nervous and it’s just embarrassing when I’m on a date.”
