He had been tipped to be Australia’s next Bachelor.
But The Bachelorette’s James Trethewie has now sparked rumours he will actually appear on Bachelor In Paradise.
As fellow Bachelor and Bachelorette stars begin arriving on the Fijian island where the show is being filmed, the 32-year-old posted an Instagram photo of a fluffy cloud formation out the window of a plane he was flying on.

Up in the clouds: The 32-year-old posted an Instagram photo of a fluffy cloud formation out the window of a plane he was flying on
The post prompted speculation he was on the way to Fiji where filming for Channel 10’s new series was about to begin this month.
‘Cloud pillow… have always dreamed of jumping into one of these… if only they’d catch you back,’ he wrote.
Fans were convinced James would make an appearance when the show premieres early next year, backing him at $3 odds on bookmaker Sportsbet.

This was despite the financial adviser insisting he would not be joining fellow castoffs to be castaway in the Pacific island.
‘For me, I’ve come back and I’m busy and slipped into work and it’s going well,’ he told the Daily Telegraph earlier, though he confirmed he’d been approached.
Even if his mile-high post doesn’t mean he’s had a change of heart, fans shouldn’t despair about his love life as the door was very much open for another show.

‘If it was The Bachelor, it’s a different conversation,’ he said in the same interview.
So far former flames Davey Llloyd, Apollo Jackson, Tara Pavlovic, Laurina Fleure, Keira Maguire and Michael Turnbull are confirmed to ship out to paradise.
Apollo, who just missed the cut for this year’s The Bachelorette finale, has the best odds to get engaged by the end of the show at $3, with Laurina Fleur the most-back woman at $5.
