World champion athlete approached to be the next Bachelor

WOW!
  • 17 Jan 2020

It's that time of year when speculation about our next Bachelor candidate is alive and kicking. 

WATCH: Bachelor Australia 2020 applications now open

World champion athlete Dave Pow Tabain is making headlines after he revealed that he was contacted by a producer on the show to see if he is keen on appearing in the next series. 

The hunk took to Instagram to reveal the news, sharing a screenshot of a direct message from Warner Brothers, "We are currently casting for the next series of The Bachelor Australia and searching for the man himself. We were hoping to chat to you about the casting process if you were first of all single? And if you were interested in hearing more at all?"

The 30-year-old went on to insist he isn't keen on handing out roses on the hit reality-TV show.

“I had a bit of a laugh and I don’t watch TV but I’d heard a lot about the Bachelor and I thought it was funny they were hitting me up via Instagram to get me to apply,” he said.

“I wouldn’t downplay the potential it (The Bachelor) has to meet someone that could be the right fit for you, because you never know when you’re going to meet them.

“It could be on the street corner, it could be in your DMs, it could be on a plane, it could be standing in line at a cafe. If you’re going to go on it you have to go all out.”

Dave certainly seems to fit the part.

Dave certainly seems to fit the part.

Not only is he a marathon runner and three-time kettlebell world champion, but he's the best selling author of a children's book and regularly visits schools and children's charities in the hope of teaching them how to unleash their inner superhero and overcome bullying.
