‘Bachie’ Matt Agnew Just Graduated From University With A PHD, So That’s Dr. Agnew To You

When he’s not looking for love on national television, Matt Agnew somehow found the time to finish a doctorate. The 33-year-old has officially graduated with a PHD today, so you can all quit it with the “not a rEaL aStRoPhYsIsIsT” bullshit now.

He was quick to change his Instagram handle from @mrmattagnew to @drmattagnew, because if you manage to rack up that kind of HECS debt, you probably deserve to boast about it. He also snapped this cute family photo to remind us all that he’s an astrophysicist and a family man.

Matt, sorry, Dr Matt claims he isn’t looking to “get famous” from the show but he’s already accrued a whopping 51k followers so if all else fails he can probably sell a teeth whitener or detox tea.

The internet went wild a few weeks ago when reports surfaced that he actually works at NAB, leaving fans to question whether he even is an astrophysicist. But now we can all rest assured that the lucky lady who wins this season’s Bachie will be going home with a doctor, not a banker. Although, I’m still not entirely sure what an astrophysicist actually is.

“The research that I’m involved in is trying to figure out where we should look to find another planet like Earth. I think there’s a handful of places even within our own solar system where it looks like all the ingredients for life are there, so I think there’s a chance that in the next half century that we’ll find evidence of that,” he explained Kyle and Jackie O.

Who knows, maybe the future Mrs Dr Agnew was hiding in plain sight at the ceremony today. If anyone caught a snap of any Bachie contestants at the ceremony, send them my way because I don’t know if I can handle the suspense anymore. I must know who wins.

Can I still call him ‘Bachie Matt’, or am I legally required to call him Dr Bachie Matt? Either way, congratulations on the graduation to the man I spend every Thursday night watching.
