However, he is already followed by last year’s runner-up, Bella Varelis.

Jimmy will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of some of the most successful couples to come out of the Bachelor franchise.

Past series have resulted in love matches for Tim and Anna, Sam and Snezana, Georgia and Lee, Matty J and Laura, and Locky and Irena. There’s also been a couple of Bachelor babies throughout the years.
