The Bachelor Australia host Osher Gunsberg, who has also become a loved figured on the show, said he "could not think of anyone better".

"Of course I am biased because I got to know Richie quite well in 2015, however I know that I share the sentiment of anyone that watched The Bachelorette Australia when I say, all I want is for him to find the right person."

Australia is behind you all the way, Richie, Go get 'em.

He may not have captured Sam Frost’s heart, but he undoubtedly won ours. Now Richie Strahan has his sights set on love once more, and as Australia’s next Bachelor, he's ready to start his search for the woman of his dreams.

Handsome, funny and charming, Richie Strahan had the nation in shock when he didn’t receive a rose from Sam Frost in the penultimate episode of The Bachelorette. Sparks had flown between the adorable pair, their ‘Senior Citizens’ date proof enough that they would have grown old hilariously together.

Though it wasn’t to be, the 30-year-old industrial rope technician from Western Australia hasn’t given up hope of finding true love, seizing the opportunity to embark on an amazing romantic journey as Australia’s next Bachelor. “I am feeling excited, nervous but mostly thrilled about potentially meeting the woman of my dreams,” he says.

“I am hoping that through this experience I will meet someone who shares my passion for life, someone that I can wake up to every morning and know I have found that special person that I can spend the rest of my life with.”

Host of The Bachelor Australia, Osher Günsberg, couldn’t be more glowing in his endorsement: “I could not think of anybody better. Of course I am biased because I got to know Richie quite well in 2015, however I know that I share the sentiment of anyone that watched The Bachelorette Australia when I say, all I want is for him to find the right person.”

“Richie won so many hearts around the country last year in season one of The Bachelorette Australia. Now, as one of Australia’s most eligible young men, it is his turn to find love,” said Network Ten Executive Producer of The Bachelor Australia, Hilary Innes.

“We are delighted to welcome Richie back as our new Bachelor and send him on his very own romantic adventure, the emotional rollercoaster ride that is The Bachelor Australia.”

Viewers can look forward to a new season of unforgettable dates, passion-fuelled cocktail parties, high drama and sweeping romance as Australia’s most eligible Bachelorettes vie for Richie’s affection.

Will he find ‘the one’ and get the fairy-tale ending he deserves?

Sasha on Richie not proposing:  Sasha tells us the rope access technician is too level-headed to rush into marriage after just a few dates on camera. ‘I’d put my money on it that he won’t. Like myself, you go into these shows with the intention of meeting someone and you’re not living real life.’

Sasha on the type of girl to catch Richie's eye: ‘I do know Richie won’t settle for anyone or anything, so I think he’ll make conscious decisions based on his core values. He’ll make sue he chooses someone in line with those values,’ he says. And if you’re high maintenance, à la former contenders Laurina Fleure and Emily Simms, better luck next year. ‘He’s not caught up in the glitz and glamour of it all. He’s just an everyday guy and is happy to date someone else like that,’ Sasha insists.

Richie on not proposing: ‘Engagement is a pretty big deal,’ he tells us. ‘I don’t just dive into something like that willy-nilly. I need to travel and live with this person first.’

Richie on children: ‘I love kids, but in saying that, I think a relationship needs to be solid before you even consider bringing children into the world.’

Stop. Everything. The 2016 Bachelor has officially been announced.
10 March 2016

REMEMBER THIS BEAUTIFUL FACE, AUSTRALIA?

It’s happening, you guys. All of our wildest hopes and dreams are becoming a reality.

The rumours are true – they’re actually true! Everyone’s favourite Rope Access Technician, sayer of weird sayings (cool bananas!) and last season’s second runner-up (he was ROBBED) is going to be our 2016 Bachelor.

And now? The news has been confirmed by none other than the man himself. Speaking to NewsCorp this morning, the 30-year-old has said he was surprised when he got the call from Channel 10 producers.

“To be honest I couldn’t believe they called me up to ask,” he told the publication.

“I’m a very private person and it’s a really big decision to put yourself out in the public arena again. I found it really hard to open up on the Bachelorette last year, but the end decision was that (by doing the show) I could meet a girl who I could pretty much spend the rest of my life with. It’s a pretty big carrot.”

Ah, “it’s a pretty big carrot” – isn’t that just such a Richie thing to say?

If you’re wondering how many pashes your new Bach will be dishing out, chances are we won’t be seeing a heap of smooching this season. “I’ve thought about that a lot,” Richie said. “I’m not the kind of guy to lead a girl down the garden path. I’m not just going to start kissing girls for the sake of it. But if the feeling is there and it’s a really special moment and I think it’s the right time to kiss a girl I have feelings for, I’ll probably do that.”

“But I’m not the kind of guy to kiss and tell.” How romantic.

Mind you – you probably won’t need to ‘kiss and tell’, Richie, the whole ‘this is a national reality TV program’ might do the telling bit for you…

Meanwhile, we’re worried Channel 10 staff are having conniptions over this abrupt, mistake announcement, although the network has since confirmed it.

Shortly after Turnbull’s post, the caption was edited to be much less suggestive: “Richie, where are you I haven’t heard from you for a week. Miss you brother X”. But that hasn’t stopped his 117,00 followers celebrating that Strahan is our next (and let’s face it, best) Bach.

This is a good day, Australia.

This is a very good day.
