SHE may have finally found love off camera but Brooke Blurton admits she feels swindled by this year’s Bachelor Matt Agnew.

She feels she would have gotten along well with Agnew.

“I do feel I’ve been gypped … I definitely got gypped with this year’s Bachelor,” said Blurton, who is “madly in love” with boyfriend Nick Power.

Based in Perth, Blurton is proud of her indigenous heritage and called for more diversity on Australian television.

“I’d love to see a lot more Aboriginal representation in TV media and even just reality shows as well,” she said.

Blurton is in Sydney this week as an ambassador for Specsavers and The Fred Hollows Foundation collaboration, a new line of frames designed by indigenous artist Peter Datjing.

“I love expressing my culture,” she explained. “I would love to see not so much of the negative stuff, and more the passionate and creative side (of indigenous culture). I love to see Aboriginal artists being showcased in any sort of industry, especially something that we use every day, like eyewear. These little things and these little movements each day acknowledge First Nations people, and that we were here.”

Specsavers will donate $25 from every pair of frames purchased to The Fred Hollows Foundation.
