He might not have been well-liked during his dramatic stint on Married At First Sight, but Dean Wells is rumoured to have scored yet another reality television gig— The Bachelor!   

WATCH: Dean Wells makes his debut in Dancing with the Stars 2020

According to an insider who chatted to New Idea, Network 10 producers are waiting to see how he rates in the upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars before they enlist him to officially sign on the dotted line and find the woman of his dreams.

While nothing is set in stone at this point in time, if he was to hand out a few roses later this year, I think we can all agree Lee Elliott will have a lot to say about it!

Last week, the former Bachelorette star— who won the heart of Georgia Love— branded Dean a “sexist bigot” in a blistering social media attack. 

“When did this country star celebrating intolerable, sexist, chauvinistic bigots?” Lee wrote alongside Dean’s promotional photo. 

Lee made it clear he was referring to Dean, as the words covered every single cast member except the controversial MAFS star.

Dean— who infamously cheated on his TV wife— later responded to Lee’s explosive attack, rejecting his accusations. 

“I am as far from any of those things as a person can be,” said Dean, who once called himself an “alpha male”. “Everyone’s entitled to their opinion. However, if he had ever actually met me, he would know that I am as far from any of those things as a person can be. I don’t judge anyone based on gender, ethnicity, sexuality or any other such traits.

“I am choosing to ignore negativity and focus on the challenge of learning to dance and hopefully raising money for my nominated charity, the BridgIT Water Foundation. That’s what it’s [the show] all about.”
