It’s looking like the Aussie tradition of using literally anyone who had even a remote fanbase from previous seasons of Bachelor/Bachelorette to star in FUTURE seasons is just refusing to stop.
This time around? Everyone’s favourite sexy fireman, Cam Cranley. Aka Fireman Cam.
Well, there’s a strong rumour saying that’s the case, at least. New Idea have the scoop, and while it’s all from an ~insider~, the logic makes sense.
Basically, the absence of Cam from Bachelor In Paradise is the allegedly biggest sign the deal’s been done.
“That kind of confirmed he was in the running,” the source told New Idea. “Cam is so popular and still single so it would be an obvious choice to have him on Paradise.”
The news was also allegedly the “talk of the Portsea Polo event in Melbourne”, which Cam attended along with the woman who BROKE HIS DAMN HEART, Georgia Love and her bb Lee Elliot. Look at him smiling through the pain.
BUT – there’s also an insane twist. According to this source, Network Ten‘s looking to have not just Cam star as Bachelor – but also his brother, Kyle. WOT.

“The two brothers are practically inseparable anyway. They have a great friendship, are always socialising together, making fun of each other and it will work well on television,” said the insider.
Honestly, we’re unsure as to how this’ll work logistics wise. Seems like far too much rose-giving to hold anyone’s attention. Plus, Australia will probably run out of loafers given that is literally the only footwear these two seem to cop.

Because I’m a qualified investigative journalist, I had a squiz and can’t tell if Kyle has a girlfriend – this makes me an exceptionally crap investigative journalist, but I never said I was good at my job, did I?
In short – this part of the rumour seems maaaybe a bit of a stretch.
Making our mate Cambo Bachie though is a decision that would make complete sense, given Network Ten loooves an ex-Bachie/Bachelorette for star quality. It works for them – see cases Matty J, Sam Frost, and Richie – so why quit on a good thing?
It’s likely some form of offish announcement will come through soon from Channel Ten, but for now the network remains mum on the whole deal.
WE JUST WANT A SHIRTLESS FIREMAN, GUYS. GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT.
