Ladies, grab your girlfriends and crack open a bottle of wine because we’re a little over two weeks away from watching the hunky Matthew Agnew hand out his first roses.
Months after being introduced to this year’s devilishly handsome Bachelor, Network Ten has finally announced an official air date for season seven of The Bachelor Australia:
Wednesday, July 31 at 7.30pm.
So far, we have been introduced to a couple of the women, one who shocked the Bachie star with her stunning entrance.
The promo clip shows an excited Matt waiting to meet one of the many girls vying for his heart before realising the lady in question is wearing a wedding dress!
Assisted by a team of bridesmaids who are scattering rose petals and singing “Here Comes The Bride”, the confused astrophysicist can be heard saying, “oh boy”.
“Are you ready?” the blonde bombshell asks him as she walks down the aisle.
“I’m not sure I am,” a stunned Matt admits. “I’m definitely not afraid of commitment but I feel this is moving pretty quick.”

Hailed as “intelligent, genuine and determined to find a love that’s out of this world”, the 31-year-old astrophysicist says he’s ready and willing to fall in love!
“I’m still pinching myself that this is happening. It may be an unorthodox way to meet someone, but it’ll make for a cracking ‘how we met’ story,” Matt said of joining the show.
No doubt the most qualified Bachelor to join the hit series, Matt has a double undergraduate degree in science and engineering, and a masters in astrophysics. Soon to be Dr Agnew, he’s also a PhD candidate at the Swinburne University of Technology where he works in the Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing.
But the Melbourne-based scientist says there’s one thing missing— a woman to share his life with!
“I’ve got a real ‘do it once, do it right’ mentality so I’ll be making sure I throw myself into it, be vulnerable and enjoy what comes from that. I think it’ll be a sensational experience!”
After last year’s disastrous finale, in which AFL star Nick “The Honey Badger” Cummins rejected both of the final two ladies, Matt, 31, will no doubt be a breath of fresh air.
“He brings spades of old-school romance back to The Bachelor,” says executive producer Hilary Innes. “He’s a Bachelor with natural charm and intelligence, but with a definite twinkle in his eye.”
