Last night, it was revealed that the new Australia Bachelor is… West Australian Richie Strahan!

This is the seriously sweet 27-year old had his heart broken on Sam Frost’s season of The Bachelorette and was working as an ‘industrial rope access technician’ (is that even a real thing!?). Sam was quoted saying that ‘Richie’s awkwardness is a beautiful thing’ and who could forget the date the two of them went on to the nursing home?

We’re so excited to watch Richie find love and hope there will be a ring at the end of it…
