Comedian Tommy Little has broken his silence on long-standing rumors that he is in talks to star as The Bachelor in Channel 10’s ill-fated dating series.
The 39-year-old revealed that while he is indeed looking for love, the thought of doing so on a reality TV format is not for him.
Faced with the question of whether he had been approached as a lead actor during a candid interview Stellarthe radio star admitted, “Okay, yeah, I was.”
He humorously speculated on the possible reactions of the female participants: “If it were me, half the women would drive up and say, ‘Not him,’ and get back in the car, and the other half would say, ‘Not he’. again”.’
Little says he is still single and looking for a partner, but with much less enthusiasm than in years past, despite reports that he is dating co-host Carrie Bickmore.

“On the way to the theater tonight a female security guard knocked on him, which is one of the longer relationships he’s had,” she said during a comedy roast of her co-star.

The radio host then ended with, “Tommy Little has the biggest heart, which makes up for the fact that everything else he has is small, including his package.
‘His salary package, of course. I earn four times as much as he does. There is absolutely no joke involved. I thought it was worth it for you all to know.”
Bickmore and Little have long been at the center of online rumors that the pair are involved in a clandestine relationship.
