PROPERTY BROTHERS TURN DOWN BACHELOR GIG
Oh, what could’ve been. Drew Scott, one of the brothers in HGTV’S Property Brothers franchise, says U.S. network ABC has asked him and his twin Jonathan Scott to star in The Bachelor multiple times.
“Jonathan has been pitched like, I think four times now, been approached to be the Bachelor. He don’t need that,” he recently told Us Weekly.
“Anyway, I think right now he’s just focusing on what we’re doing, the shows. We’re launching our first kids’ book next month, which is exciting. Eventually he’ll have time and then I’ll pawn him off for a dating show or something.”
Drew added that the love-seeking reality show is eager to sign him up too.
“I said my third no to being the Bachelor about a month ago,” he said. “I cannot. That is absolutely not me. I would love something like Amazing Race. (It) would be fun … but not The Bachelor.”
Drew married his longtime girlfriend Linda Phan in May, and the nuptials were chronicled in the TLC special Property Brothers: Linda & Drew Say I Do. They starred on the HGTV miniseries Property Brothers at Home: Drew’s Honeymoon House last November, and Drew competed on the most recent season of ABC’S Dancing With the Stars, placing fourth.
Meanwhile, Jonathan and his girlfriend of more than two years, Jacinta Kuznetsov, announced their split in April.
The Bachelor franchise will air its 23rd season in January on ABC and City.
