Brooke Blurton says she won’t be holding back with her tell-all book.

Titled Big Love, the former Bachelorette star is mid way through writing the book that will be published by HarperCollins Australia later this year.

“It is quite cathartic but equally hard because I feel like it surfaces things you may have forgotten about,” Blurton told Confidential.

Blurton, 27, flew to Sydney from her home in Melbourne to attend an event hosted by The Iconic for its beauty and wellness products.

She said her book would be “pretty much” warts and all and if her stints on The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise and The Bachelor are anything to go by, it will be a juicy read.

Blurton famously appeared on Nick ‘Honey Badger’ Cummins Bachelor season in 2018 and last year went on to make headlines as the first bisexual lead to appear in the franchise when she fronted The Bachelorette.

“I am not afraid to share the details and we’ve got the title, which is Big Love, so there is obviously that aspect of it as well,” she said. “I have enjoyed driving it so far. We are only sort of half way through.”

The proud Noongar-Yamatji woman said she had learnt a lot about herself in the process of writing the book. She is also working on a fiction series for tweens and young tweens with writer Melanie Saward.

“I have learnt that I surprise myself every day at some of the things that I’ve overcome but also I guess what is instilled in me to this day. Obviously that is family, community and love.”

Asked why she thought there was interest in her life, Blurton said: “I guess because maybe I am not in it for the fame.

“I am in it for my family and elevating my family and community.

“I think a lot of people can sometimes get a little wrapped up especially in reality TV but I feel like I have always stayed grounded.”
