The 30-year-old, nicknamed ‘The Honey Badger’ is claimed to have beat fan favourites Cam Cranley and Jason Dundas to the reality TV role, according to The Sunday Telegraph.
While the sports star was initially thought to be out of the picture due to his five-year romance with Norwegian artist Martine Thomassen, it is believed the pair have ended their relationship.
Nick is friends with last season’s Bachelor star, Matty J – with the pair starring in an Oakley commercial together ahead of the Winter Olympics in January.
