Todd King (Prince Charming aka Mr Knight in Shining Amour) - Bachelorette Australia Season 4 - Fan Forum

While he's undoubtedly hoping he turns out to be Ali Oetjen's knight in shining armour on the new season of The Bachelorette, the truth is Todd King could have used a hero himself.

In an interview with TV Week magazine on Monday, the 26-year-old sales rep spoke about his heartbreaking family tragedy, revealing two of his sisters died before he even had a chance to meet them.

'It's one of my biggest regrets,' he told the publication.

Todd said the devastating passing of his sisters, just years apart, occurred before he was born, and he said it made his mum fiercely protective of him. 

He said special occasions are especially hard for his mother.

It will always affect her, and it does hurt to see her at Christmas and on their birthdays,' he added. 'They're never forgotten.' 

Describing himself as a 'mummy's boy', Todd is the youngest and only male in his family, having grown up with three older sisters.

He said he was basically a human 'Cabbage Patch doll' for his sisters when he was younger.

'It was all dresses, makeup... I think that's why I'm more of a feminine type of bloke,' he admitted.

'I don't mind getting my hands dirty, but I definitely love a facial and a pedi!'

And while he's open to finding love with Ali, 32, on The Bachelorette, Todd says he's not expecting lightning to strike the first time he meets her.

'I believe love takes time to develop. You can be in lust or infatuated, but love is a bond that develops over time,' he told tenplay.
