It's official: the Bachelor Australia has found its leading man for 2021. Meet James Nicholson, or rather, Jimmy Nicholson.
In a departure from last year's reality TV veteran Locky Gilbert, who appeared on Survivor before donning the tux and picking up the roses, Nicholson is an unknown. (Which most will find refreshing!) The news broke this morning, and while details are still thin on the ground and Jimmy Nicholson's Instagram profile (@jimmynicholson) is currently set to private, we have done some digging about the new Bachie for this year's season.

"I am a big believer in embracing any opportunity that presents itself, especially if it has the potential to change your life for the better," Nicholson said in an announcement from this morning.
The 31-year-old airline pilot is described as "an intelligent and passionate go-getter who is ready to find his happily ever after."

Apparently, last year was a bit of an awakening for Jimmy, who recognised during the pandemic that while "his career is important, love is even more so."
"The journey ahead will be one of the most challenging experiences that I have ever undertaken, however, I am very excited to meet someone that I could potentially spend the rest of my life with," said Nicholson.

The only opinion that matters, in our opinion, is from angel and Bachelor host Osher Günsberg. Günsberg has welcomed Nicholson warmly with his own announcement, writing: "Get ready to soar with airline pilot @jimmynicholson as he navigates the turbulent skies of love searching for his co-pilot in life. And yes, he's as dreamy as you think he is."
