While former Sunrise host Samantha Armytage has been confirmed to host Nine’s new reality series The Golden Bachelor, there are still a few major roles to fill.
The bachelor and all the women needed for the series are yet to be found, but one well-known businessman is believed to be a leading contender for the show.
“We are looking for Australia’s first Golden Bachelor and many incredible women who want to find love again,” read the official casting website.
Nine are looking for people aged between 60 and 75 years old who are “looking for the last great love” of their life, live in Australia and are single.
“Do you know someone in their golden years who deserves one more shot at their happily ever after?” the casting notice read.
According to TV Blackbox expert Steve Molk, “Mark Bouris is being touted as their guy.”
Bouris, 68, is a podcaster for Straight Talk and a former host of Nine’s The Celebrity Apprentice.
Molk added that it’s not uncommon for a network to create buzz with the announcement “in the hope it will help shake the trees for prospective applicants to flock and submit their audition”.
Although Nine has yet to confirm their broadcast date, Molk believes that it’s likely to air mid next year.
“This gives them time to cast and film while still showing partners why they would want to drop their cash with Nine.”
Armytage said the Australian version of the show has “got a different spin”.
“This is for people who are looking for love again, who’ve got some miles on their tyres and are ready to fall in love again,” she told Nine’s Today on October 29.
“These are people with life experience. There’s going to be some great stories here, some kind of sad stories in some.
“We’re looking for a happy fairytale ending.”
