CASEY DONOVAN I CAN’T WAIT TO BE THE BACHELORETTE!

Rumours are swirling as to who could be following in the footsteps of Sophie Monk as the next celebrity Bachelorette – and with her career comeback in full swing, Casey Donovan is top of the list.

“People keep asking me when I’m going to be the next Bachelorette... we’ll see what happens,” she said last week. “I’d love to. But if Kris Smith is the next Bachelor I’d ask Ten if I could be a contestant on that!”

With her weight-loss journey attracting admirers everywhere – Casey’s 36kg lighter – she feels confident enough to explore romance, despite giving up on dating sites.

“I’m almost 30. I’ve never been in a relationship except a fake one for six years [when a female friend conned her into believing she was her boyfriend online] so yes, I’d love to meet someone when the time’s right.”
