Meet the 2019 Bachelorette Australia contestants
Shortly after astrophysicist Matt Agnew was named Australia’s 2019 Bachelor earlier this year, Gogglebox and I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! star Angie Kent was crowned the country’s 2019 Bachelorette. Since then, Agnew has found love with 28-year-old contestant Chelsie McLeod, and Kent has finished filming the fifth season of the hotly-anticipated hit reality television show, which is set to air at 7.30pm on Channel 10, on Wednesday October 9.
“I’ve always been the girl who loves to make everyone laugh, but now I reckon it’s time to have someone to laugh with me, rather than at me,” the 29-year-old told Channel 10 at the time. “So, if 20 or so fellas want to join me, have a laugh and potentially be my perfect partner in life and love, I say let’s give it a red hot go,” she added.
While viewers may already be familiar with Kent, given that she went from the Gogglebox couch to the jungle during her stint on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! throughout the course of The Bachelorette Australia, we can guarantee you’re going to see the star like you’ve never seen her before.
Described as “genuine, funny, lovable and naturally gorgeous,” Kent has confessed that while she is confident in herself and enjoys being independent, she is ready to fall in love.
“As corny and clichéd as this sounds, my dream outcome is to just be happy,” she told Channel 10. “To have a partner who embraces and takes on all [of this] and then I just embrace and take on them and we have our separate lives, but then we have our life together. And we just go on the best adventures ever,” she added.
With 20 men vying for Kent’s attention—including everyone from free-diving instructor Adam and firefighter Haydn, to BMX stunt rider Matt and cabin crew member Tom—we have no doubt the lucky lady is bound to find her one true love on this season of The Bachelorette Australia.
