The Golden Bachelor Australia is premiering this month.<\/p>\n

The new series, starring widowed father-of-three Barry ‘Bear’ Myrden, will air on Monday, October 20 at 7.30pm on Channel Nine.<\/p>\n

The network announced the launch date on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Samantha Armytage<\/a> will host the debut season, which was filmed earlier this year in Sydney<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bear was spotted shooting scenes in March, piloting a retro Italian speedboat across Sydney Harbour before meeting the women who would compete for his heart.<\/p>\n

The women set to star on the show were revealed last month.<\/p>\n

Among the hopefuls are Angela, a 52-year-old psychotherapist from Victoria; Bianca Dye, a 51-year-old TV and radio star from Queensland and Catherine, a 56-year-old interior designer from NSW.<\/p>\n

Joining them are Elizete, a 54-year-old property manager from NSW; Gera, a 52-year-old real estate business owner from WA; Hamidah, a 60-year-old disability support worker from NSW; and Jan, a 66-year-old age transformation coach from NSW.<\/p>\n

Jane, a 60-year-old interior designer from NSW; Janette, a 61-year-old Pilates studio owner from Victoria; Katrina, a 55-year-old NICU nurse from Queensland; Kim, a 60-year-old doctor from Queensland; and Laura, a 64-year-old primary school teacher from Queensland, will also be vying for Bear’s heart.<\/p>\n

Also on the show are stylist Linda, a 61-year-old from Queensland; Lauren, a 60-year-old dressage team manager from Queensland; Nicolette, a 55-year-old singer from NSW; Pip, a 60-year-old hoist operator from Victoria; and Shamse, a 60-year-old interior designer.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the hopefuls are retired education sales executive Shana, 60; CEO Sunny, 58 and property investor Terri, 61.<\/p>\n

Friends of Bear say he’s finally ready to take a leap into romance after years of encouragement from his inner circle.<\/p>\n

‘Bear is always complaining that his boys are saying he’s bringing around the wrong kind of girls that are just too young and hot for him,’ a friend told Daily Mail Australia.<\/p>\n

‘We were always saying he needed to be put on a show like MAFS, so seeing him up for the Bachelor role is no surprise.’<\/p>\n

Producers promise a more mature, heartfelt take on the long-running dating franchise, with Bear bringing a lifetime of love and loss to the screen.<\/p>\n

‘He’s not your usual reality TV type,’ an insider said.<\/p>\n

‘He’s charming, intelligent and has really lived a full life. He’s been through love, loss and now he’s ready to open his heart again. Women are going to adore him.’<\/p>\n

The Golden Bachelor has been a smash hit in the US, and fans have been clamouring for an Australian edition since its premiere.<\/p>\n

Fans of The Golden Bachelor have been calling for an Australian version since the US rendition premiered last year to critical acclaim.<\/p>\n
