Heather

Age: 29
Occupation: Filmmaker
State: NSW

Aspiring filmmaker Heather is bursting with energy and confidence. Describing online dating as “like eating a bag of sand”, she is determined and hard-working. Although Heather tries to play it cool with love, underneath she is a closet romantic. This Bachelorette is a super confident tomboy who will not waste her kisses on just anyone.

What is your best asset and why?
My ability to take a crappy situation and make it great.

What qualities do you hope to find in The Bachelor?
A man. Like, a real man. I do not know how else to describe it. Or someone who makes me a better person, and totally yins my yang.


What made you apply to be part of The Bachelor Australia?
Mainly because everything I have done in this world has always been for someone else. I am doing this show for me. I am hoping to be able to find a guy who looks at life the way I do, and fall in love.

What is your most memorable (embarrassing or otherwise) dating story?
I do not really get embarrassed. It takes a lot. I have plenty of “oh, that happened Heather” moments, but whatever.

Describe your dream date?
I am a secret romantic. I have been great at doing romantic stuff for others, but never really had someone do it back. I want someone to make me feel like their best mate and their special human.

How are you going to stand out from the other Bachelorettes?
I’m pretty different/real. I am a real Aussie girl. I am not afraid to take a risk and will just get in there. I hope he makes me laugh as much as I want to make him smile.

Love is a risk…is it time for Heather to take a leap of faith!

Someone jelly?

Heather: Yeah, I feel really lucky. I am such an oddball sometimes and I can say some of the weirdest things . . . I feel really humbled by the fact that people are really supportive. Not everyone’s going to love you and that’s cool. But the fact that I’ve had such amazing things said, I’m just like, "Damn! That’s awesome. There are other oddballs out there!"

PS: They’re playing up the Emily thing a lot. Every time your name is mentioned they cut to Emily rolling her eyes.
Heather: I know.
PS: Are you guys mates now though?
Heather: Yeah! Yeah, we are. One of the things that really impressed me about Emily was that we were exercising one day in the house and she sat me down and just goes, "I’m so sorry, I was wrong. I’m really sorry. I judged you at first glance but I get you now." But you know what, that’s not entirely her fault. I had no idea how guarded I was about how I feel and who I am, until I did this show. I thought I was like, "Here it is, here’s what I’m about," but I realised that I’m OK with the funny stuff or the fun stuff, but the minute someone wants to know how I feel about something, that’s what I find a little bit tough.

PS: I felt like a perve watching that kiss, it was so intense! It was a good kiss.
Heather: Yeah, when I was kissing him I was like, "Wow, this is incredible." You know you have that moment where your little internal girly brain is flicking and you’re going, "We’re kissiiiiing oh my Goddd," and I think because that had switched on, I didn’t realise how romantic that moment was. And then I went in for the cheek grab. Nothing like a good cheek grab.

PS: The friend thing threw me — when Sam wondered if you guys were falling into the friend zone.
Heather: Oh, the friend thing. No, that didn’t really throw me. I mean, it hurt. It was like, "Ooh, OK. You just got me in the crash button," but, look, I was actually really proud of the fact that he brought it up and nailed it. Like, "This is what I’m afraid of." I was like, cool. That’s a ball I can hit. If you tell me what’s going on, I can do something about it. And that’s exactly what, in saying that, took us to the next level rather than the other way. He gave me the opportunity to either be really honest about the way that I felt or freak out and run in the opposite direction.
