Is this the new Bondi Vet?
In March, Dr Chris Brown announced that he would be leaving Bondi Vet to focus on his commitments to The Living Room and I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
The news was devastating to the Australian public but to soften the blow, creators of the show WTFN Entertainment decided to let the public decide who his replacement will be.
It was announced that they would run a national competition where vets around Australia could be nominated to fill Dr Brown’s shoes.
From 400 entries, the best 50 nominees have been selected with their fate left up to Australia.
The Australian public vote will select the top five finalists but WTFN Entertainment will crown the winner of the competition.
The top 50 nominees include both male and female and are vets who are scattered all over Australia. WTFN Entertainment has stated on Facebook that the show may no longer be set in Bondi if the “right person” is selected.
“The race is getting really exciting. The quality of vets in our final 50 is incredible," said WTFN Director of Content Steve Oemcke.
"We encourage Bondi Vet fans and all animal lovers to jump online and keep supporting their favourite vet. Who knows? They could become Australia's newest TV star."
The winner will be announced in early August. To vote for your favourite Australian vet, click here.
