Samantha Armytage's big new move
Just weeks after Sam Armytage announced she would be leaving Channel Seven for good, her rumoured new role has been revealed.
According to entertainment journalist Peter Ford, the former Farmer Wants A Wife presenter is tipped to be hosting the highly-anticipated Australian version of The Golden Bachelor, which is set to premiere on Channel Nine in 2025.
Nine Network announced the Australian version of the Golden Bachelor at its annual Upfronts event in October: a spin-off of the popular dating series featuring senior citizens finding love.
When discussing who would be the face of the new program, Ford wrote on social media, If I was a betting man I’d put money on @sam_armytage.”
“She’s now a free agent after leaving 7 and has been clear she was interested in new opportunities.”
Armytage is not the only media personality tipped to be the host of The Golden Bachelor, as an insider previously revealed that Sonia Kruger could be interested in the role.
“The word on the street is that Sonia could reboot The Golden Bachelor on Channel Nine in 2025,” the source shared. “Channel Nine loved working with Sonia and everyone would welcome her back with open arms. There is a real bidding war which will see two networks keen to lock her services down in the new year."
