The Dancing With The Stars judge has reportedly signed a contract with the producers of the franchise, according to TV Blackbox.
Sharna hinted at her appearance on the show during a chat with Entertainment Tonight last November.
“I am absolutely looking for love, I’m ready for love. I am getting more and more open to being The Bachelorette,’ she teased.
‘I just got back from Australia and it became a pretty hot topic over there on whether I could be the next Bachelorette in Australia, so that’s an interesting thought for me.’
While TV Blackbox podcast contributor Ben Norris broke the news about Sharna – “The contract is dry and she is going to be The Bachelorette” – he said, Network Ten producers have refused to confirm or deny the news.
‘We welcome speculation about the identity of the new Bachelorette. We are thrilled that so many talented and accomplished women have expressed interest in appearing on the show,’ a network spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia.
‘We are in the very early stages of casting and an announcement will be made in the coming months.’
Sharna was a professional dancer on Dancing with the Stars U.S. for twelve seasons, before landing a role on the Australian judging panel in 2019.
