NRL star Braith Anasta sets the record straight on rumours he will be the next Bachelor

NRL star Braith Anasta has finally addressed the swirling rumors he’s set to star in the new season of The Bachelor.

The 41-year-old has confirmed that he has indeed turned down the chance to become the next lead of the hit reality show.

“I’m busy enough as it is,” he said The Sunday Telegraph.

Braith went on to explain that his days are filled to the brim with professional and personal responsibilities.

“I love my role at Fox Sports and taking care of my beautiful children. It’s quite hectic managing footy players and golfers,” he continued.

Anasta was reportedly offered an impressive $500,000 for a season on the reality TV show.

In addition to his current roles, Anasta is also very passionate about his ‘StrongDAD’ initiative.

The project, which aims to promote men’s mental health, is something he wants to focus more on.

It comes after Daily Mail Australia revealed that Channel 10 has hatched a bold plan to bring much-needed excitement and ratings to the show.

Warner Bros., the production company behind Ten’s dating series, has managed to land a groom who was originally cast by Channel Nine to star in the 2024 season of MAFS.

It looks like Channel 10 has a daring plan to inject some much-needed excitement and magic into the franchise by stealing a groom who will appear in the rival show’s future season

Sources reveal that the groom in question was speeded up by Endemol Shine Australia to play the villain during the lengthy application process.

However, it’s clear that Ten swooped in and picked him up, so he’ll now take center stage as the antagonist on the upcoming season of The Bachelor.

This daring maneuver sets the stage for a heated rivalry between the two shows, as they’ll both be filming around the same time.

This is the first time the shows have gone head-to-head and the behind-the-scenes rivalry has already been described as fierce.

The upcoming season of The Bachelors will follow last year’s three-star formula and the theme will be something like “The Good, The Bad and the Ugly,” the source says.

Both series will start at the end of January 2024, after the Australian Open.

Channel 10 has secured Melbourne as the backdrop for their series and has assembled a cast that promises to captivate even the most devout MAFS fans.
