The network said Nicholson decided to apply for the show when he found himself with ample free time after the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

“I am a big believer in embracing any opportunity that presents itself, especially if it has the potential to change your life for the better,” Nicholson said.

Here’s the money shot.

“The journey ahead will be one of the most challenging experiences that I have ever undertaken, however I am very excited to meet someone that I could potentially spend the rest of my life with.”

Describing himself as a “self-confessed romantic”, Nicholson, who is of New Zealand and Fijian heritage, is an “intelligent and passionate go-getter” who is ready to find the love of his life and settle down.

Channel 10 also revealed the show will be filmed at a new mansion this year, though details are currently under wraps.

Last year’s winning pair Locky Gilbert and Irena Srbinovska are still going strong months later.
