Jackie O Henderson has addressed rumours that she’s touted to be the leading lady of The Bachelorette Australia 2023.
As they always do ahead of a new Bachie season, whispers have started circling about who will star in the sinking ship that is The Bachelorette — A.K.A, the show that didn’t even get a run in 2022.
Woman’s Day kicked off the goss, claiming that Jackie was “ready for her close up” and keen to jump back into the dating game after splitting from her hubby in 2018.
An insider also told the mag that the KIIS FM mainstay was asking her mate (and 2017 Bachelorette) Sophie Monk for advice ahead of filming.
Now, Jackie originally said the rumours were “utter bullsh*t” on the May 30 instalment of The Kyle and Jackie O Show. However, she’s already backtracked and dished that she actually was offered the gig.
Who woulda thunk it?!
What did Jackie O Henderson say about The Bachelorette Australia?
Revisiting the topic on May 31, Jackie admitted that Channel Ten reached out to her to ask if she’d actually consider The Bachelorette.
“It came through my manager and I said, ‘Absolutely not’. No way would I ever do something like that. It is great for your entertainment, but what about me,” she said on The Kyle And Jackie O Show.
Adding that she didn’t want to be faced with a bunch of “gronks”, the 48-year-old said the network tried to get her to name her price.
But lo and behold, she ain’t interested.
“Nothing, I wouldn’t do it. I would just not do it. Not The Bachelorette,” Jackie admitted.
“They are just making TV in the end, and you are just going to get gronks, get weirdos… I just don’t think it is for me.”
While we may be getting ahead of ourselves in tryna pin down a Bachelorette lead, So Dramatic! recently spilled the tea on The Bachelor season 11’s leading men.
Yes, men, multiple — because they didn’t learn from The Bachelors 2023 that having multiple bachies is a disaster waiting to happen.
Sigh…
