Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne's surprise career move: 'This is wild'

The Bachelor stars announced the exciting news on Sunday.

Former Bachelor stars Laura Byrne and Brittany Hockley have managed to turn their reality TV appearances into successful careers, with the pair hosting the popular podcast Life Uncut since 2019. The pair released a book called We Love Love in October last year and Laura also runs the successful Aussie jewellery brand ToniMay.

Brittany dipped her toe into radio late last year as a fill-in host on The Kyle & Jackie O Show to replace Jackie 'O' Henderson when she took leave for ‘health reasons’, and now listeners can continue to get their fix.
