The Bachelorette Brooke Blurton about to make history as first bisexual star

Australia’s history-making season of The Bachelorette, featuring the show’s first bisexual star and mixed gender cast, is tipped to hit TV screens next month.

The countdown is on to Australia’s history-making season of The Bachelorette.

Channel 10 has launched its first TV ad promoting youth ­social worker Brooke Blurton as the star of the series, which is a global first in the format with both men and women vying for the reality star’s love.

Proud indigenous Australian Blurton, 26, shot the advert in Western Australia, on Yamatji country, where she grew up.

Wearing a red gown with the terracotta earth at her feet, Blurton says: “I would love to share my life with someone special. For me, true love is all about making a soul connection, no matter who they are. I have so much love to give and I am so ready to find that special someone to give it to.”

Confidential in May ann­ounced Blurton as the new Bachelorette.
She follows in the footsteps of previous Bachelorette’s including Sophie Monk, Sam Frost and Angie Kent.

Ten is yet to announce a premiere date, although it is expected to launch in October.

Blurton would be familiar to viewers from her 2018 stint on Nick “Honey Badger” Cummins’s season of The Bachelor, when she famously quit the show despite being a favourite.

She appeared on spin-off ­reality series, Bachelor In Paradise, and has been previously romantically linked to singer G-Flip and AFL player Jed Bews.

“I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Blurton said in May at the mixed gender cast.
“If it makes people feel uncomfortable in any way, I really challenge them to think about why it does.

“Times are more progressive and sexuality and gender expression are just so fluid these days. I am not too sure if Australia is ready for it. I hope they are. I certainly am.”
