Matty ‘J’ Johnson has been a staple on Aussie TV screens since shooting to stardom on The Bachelor back in 2017.
The father-of-two enjoys regular appearances on The Living Room, Studio 10 and Have You Been Paying Attention?, but his latest role is one we didn’t see coming!
On Tuesday, Matt took to Instagram to share his excitement over landing a gig on the iconic ABC kids’ show Playschool.

Matt couldn’t wipe the grin off his face as he posed with beloved toy Jemima behind the scenes.
The former reality star, who shares two daughters with fiancee Laura Byrne, then shared a series of videos from inside his changing room.
“This is my changeroom for this morning. I’m going to be lame, I can’t tell you what I’m filming but I will say its something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time. It’s very sick,” he told the camera.
The father-of-two said a gig on Playschool was on his bucket list.

“I just want to say that I’ve worked wit a lot of professionals in the industry and I honestly thought you were one of the best. You did such a good job today,” he told the rag doll.
Matt’s exciting announcement instantly sent fans and fellow celebs into a frenzy.
“OMG is that Jemima!!!!!! dduuuuuddddeeeee,” former Married at First Sight star Johnny Balbuziente commented.
While Matt didn’t explicitly say his new gig was on the classic kids’ TV show, ABC all but confirmed the casting decision by commenting: “Iconic duo 🙌”
