A familiar face will return to Australian television screens, making history on one of the country's most successful programs.
Key points:
- Brooke Blurton will become the first Indigenous and bisexual woman to be Australia's Bachelorette
- Blurton was on the 2018 season of the Bachelor, and later appeared on the show Bachelor in Paradise
- For the first time, both men and women will be contestants on the program
Network 10 announced on Thursday that Brooke Blurton, 26, will be Australia's next Bachelorette.
The youth worker from Western Australia will become the first Indigenous, and first openly bisexual woman to be the central figure of the program.
Blurton, a Noongar-Yamatji woman, said in a statement she was excited for her opportunity to be the next Bachelorette.
"I've done it twice before and now, having the opportunity to choose my person and who I want in my life, is a truly unique and special experience," she said.
"I'm so excited and hope that I finally find that person I've been waiting for."
For the first time in the show's history, both men and women will be contestants who will be competing for Blurton's heart.
Blurton is no stranger to Australian screens, appearing on the 2018 season of the Bachelor, which starred former Australian rugby union international Nick Cummins and later on, Bachelor in Paradise.
During the 2018 season of the Bachelor, Blurton told Cummins she had previously been in two relationships with women.
She was a popular contestant and considered a strong chance to secure the 'Honey Badger's' heart, but abruptly quit the show towards the end of the season.
Host Osher Günsberg said in a statement that the upcoming season highlights the diversity and common interests of Australia.
"We are a nation of people from so many different backgrounds, so many different cultures and so many different experiences, yet we all have one thing in common – we all want to be loved in a way that is meaningful to us," he said.
Blurton had previously said she would be interested in being the show's protagonist, but admitted she was not sure how bit would be received.
She said in August last year on Australian podcast, The Babble, that she did not know if the country was "ready" for a lead who was not heterosexual.
