Nick ‘The Honey Badger’ Cummins may be the next Bachelor, but it turns out that he may not have been the producers’ first choice.
Former Masterchef star Hayden Quinn says he’s been repeatedly asked by producers to be the next Bachelor.

Hayden explained that his decision to say no comes from being in a long-term relationship with model Jax Raynor since 2015.
‘I always get the email from Bachelor,’ he said.
‘But all you need to do is look on Wikipedia and see that I’ve got a girlfriend so that’s not gonna happen.’

Popcast host Tim Dormer jokingly says that many people have broke off relationships with girlfriends just to be on The Bachelor.
Sounding surprised at Tim’s ‘revelation,’ Hayden laughed and said he simply isn’t interested.
‘Yeah, it doesn’t interest me, really,’ he says.

While Hayden may not have any interest in being the next Bachelor, Nick has been relishing his role in the upcoming season.
From riding a rainbow-haired unicorn to going naked fishing in the bath, the 30-year-old rugby ace injected a refreshing dose of comedy into the ads.
With the hilarity-infused ads and his own teases, fans can certainly expect a lot of ‘funny points’ on Nick’s upcoming run on The Bachelor.
The Bachelor Australia will air on Network Ten later this year.
The back-up plan? Hayden’s reveal comes just as Channel Ten is ramping up anticipation for Nick ‘The Honey Badger’ Cummins’ upcoming appearance as The Bachelor
