Meet The Bachelor Australia 2018 Contestants

Meet The Bachelor Australia 2018 Contestants

With the new season of The Bachelor just days away – we finally have our first look at ALL the ladies who will be vying for Nick Cummins – a.k.a the Honey Badger’s heart.

While details of the contestants starring on this season's show had remained tight-lipped (so far we had only met two of the ladies), but now we finally have details on all 25 bachelorettes looking for love.

Aged between 23 and 34 and ranging from fashion designers to yoga instructors and flight attendants, the ladies will battle it out in the hopes of being the last one to receive a rose from the former rugby star.

Channel 10 also gave us the first look at the entire cast at the very first rose ceremony, with the first group shot.
