The Bachelorette Australia: Rebel Wilson discusses fronting the Channel 10 dating show

‘I’ve turned into a romantic’: Rebel Wilson tipped to become Australia’s next Bachelorette to ‘represent real-looking women’ on the dating show

Rebel Wilson has revealed that she’d love to become Australia’s next Bachelorette. 

The Australian actress, 40, told News.com.au on Saturday that she wants to ‘represent more real-looking women’ on the Channel 10 dating show. 

However, she joked that she’s unsure if Channel 10 could afford her $20million fee.

‘I’ve turned into such a romantic. I’m not ashamed to admit that I watch and love shows like The Bachelor and Bachelorette,’ said Rebel in the interview.

When asked if she’d consider signing up herself, she laughed: ‘My price is $20million so I don’t think [Channel 10] can afford it… I’m not going to expose myself publicly in that way for a low price.

‘But I think it’d be interesting to represent a more real-looking woman as the Bachelorette. I think that’d be a really positive message and I think people would find it more interesting.’

Rebel’s interest in The Bachelorette comes after she vowed to change her life for the better this year, focussing on her health, happiness and losing weight. 

In January, the actress wrote to Instagram: ‘Okay so for me 2020 is going to be called “The Year of Health”‘. So I put on the athleisure and went out for a walk, deliberately hydrating on the couch right now. And [I’m] trying to avoid the sugar and junk food, which is going to be hard after the holidays I’ve just had but I’m going to do it!’

‘Who’s with me in making some positive changes this year?’

Earlier this year, it was reported that ballroom dancer Sharna Burgess had ‘signed a contract with Channel 10’ to become this year’s Bachelorette. 

However, after filming was delayed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic in March, it appears this is no longer going to happen.

Sharna was recently spotted kissing a man in Bondi, seemingly having now found love herself without the help of Channel 10’s famous dating show.
