Earlier this year, Network Ten announced that Gogglebox‘s Angie Kent will star in The Bachelorette Australia 2019.
The blonde beauty will be given the chance of a lifetime as she romances several men simultaneously on her way to finding her perfect match.
The reality tv star will be following in the footsteps of Sophie Monk and Ali Oetjen on the popular Channel 10 dating show.
So just who is Angie Kent?

Originally from the Sunshine Coast, the 29-year-old shot worked in marketing and production before landing a spot on Gogglebox with best friend Yvie Jones – which catapulted her to fame.
Soon after, Angie appeared on Channel Ten’s Australian version of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!
Her loveable TV persona won her a huge fanbase, so it’s no surprise Channel Ten has recruited her for another reality tv show.
According to Instyle, the executive producer of The Bachelorette Australia, Hilary Innes believes Angie is the “perfect Bachelorette.”
“She’s genuine, funny, loveable and naturally gorgeous. I am so excited to see Angie’s love story unfold,” Innes said.
Angie is somewhat of an oracle, predicting her own appearance on the Channel 10 show in 2018.
In an interview with the Herald Sun, Angie was asked which other shows she wanted to go on to which she responded:
“I think I would do I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! even though I would get so frightened,” she said.
“I wouldn’t do [be a contestant on] The Bachelor Australia but I would do The Bachelorette and the men would fight for me. I couldn’t think of anything worse than fighting a bunch of girls for one man.”
While Angie is looking forward to having over twenty men “throwing themselves” at her, she knows what she’s looking for.
“They have to have an amazing sense of humour, don’t take yourself too seriously,” she said in an interview with 10 Daily.
“When it comes to looks I don’t have a type. I’m not one of those people that’s like ‘tall, dark and handsome’. As long as you have a solid personality and a sensational smile, I’m pretty much sold.”
