Alex Nation confirms she won’t be in Bachelor in Paradise

In 2016, Alex Nation found love with Richie Strahan on The Bachelor, only for the couple to split earlier this year.

But it appears her first taste of reality TV was more than enough for the blonde bombshell.

On Southern FM’s Jay, Foz and Alex on Friday, the 26-year-old confirmed once and for all she won’t be appearing on the franchise’s spin-off Bachelor In Paradise.

During the segment, her radio co-host Luke ‘Foz’ Forrest joked: ‘Alex is spewing they’re not offering her a spot on Bachelor in Paradise!’

Alex hit back: ‘Actually, they did. I declined. I said, “No, thank you very much!”‘

It comes after her ex boyfriend and Bachelor star Richie Strahan was equally forthcoming in his choice not to take part in the new show.

Commenting on a image on NW’s Instagram account that featured himself alongside other stars of the Bachelor franchise, Nikki Gogan and Keira Maguire, the 32-year-old bluntly wrote: ‘I’m 100% not doing this.’

Richie and Alex aren’t the only former contestants who have been vocal about their reluctance to rejoin The Bachelor fray.

Nikki Gogan, who was runner-up in Richie’s season of The Bachelor, also shut down suggestions that she had signed up for more.

 ‘I wish anyone that chooses to go on Bach in Paradise all the very very best, but I won’t be joining them,’ the blonde beauty wrote in an Instagram post last week. 

'I won't be joining them': Nikki Gogan has also been vocal about not signing on, saying she wished the best for everyone taking part but she won't be one of them

However, looking more likely as contenders are Tara Pavlovic and Elora Murger, who shot to fame vying for Matty ‘J’ Johnson’s affections.

The 27-year-olds told TV WEEK last week that they are both ‘keen’ to appear on the Network Ten dating show. 

‘I would definitely consider it if I was asked,’ said Tara, while Elora admitted she already had her eye on Sophie Monk’s reject Luke McLeod.
