It’s the reality TV spin-off series which brings past cast members from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette together in a tropical paradise to find love.
And ahead of the second season of Bachelor In Paradise Australia, speculation is rife about which former reality TV stars will appear in the 2019 lineup.
On Monday, Woman’s Day reported Network Ten is ‘desperate to sign up newly-single Keira Maguire and Sam Cochrane’ as contestants on the dating series.

‘Ten is desperate to get back some of the talent they had last year, and who better than Sam and Keira, who have both had their hearts broken?’ the source told the magazine.
‘They were massive ratings winners in the first season, so it makes sense they’d try and get them back,’ the source added.
Keira, 32, announced her shock split with Jarrod last month after dating for less than a year, while Sam and ex-girlfriend Tara Pavlovic confirmed their breakup via Instagram in June.

According to the source, Tara, was supposedly considered for the Fiji-based reality TV series up until she went public with her new boyfriend Nick Shepherdson, last month.
The magazine also reported the trio of ‘mean girls’ from the sixth season of The Bachelor, ‘Cat Henesy, Romy Poulier and Alisha Aitken-Radburn are set to star on the upcoming Channel 10 series.’

Daily Mail Australia reached out to Network Ten for comment.
Earlier this month, Bali-based jewellery designer Cat hinted she will appear on the season season of Bachelor In Paradise during an interview with Nova’s Fitzy & Wippa.
Cat, who joined fellow ‘mean girls’ Alisha and Romy on the Sydney breakfast radio show, said she would ‘absolutely’ love to appear on the Fiji-based spin-off.

The discussion was prompted after radio host Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald, 41, quizzed the former contestants about whether they would consider signing up for another reality TV series.
‘Absolutely I would!’ Cat revealed on September 7.
‘(However) I’d probably just be a bit more tactical,’ she conceded.

Romy said she wouldn’t consider spin-off the show unless she was ‘paid a lot of money.’
During one of the most explosive episodes in the franchise’s history this month, Nick ‘The Honey Badger’ Cummins’ took a tearful Cat aside and booted her off the program after learning of her ‘bullying’ behaviour.
In a subsequent elimination ceremony, her pal Alisha was also sent packing, before their co-conspirator Romy Poulier spectacularly rejected a rose.
