“People keep asking me when I’m going to be the next Bachelorette, [and] you know, we’ll see what happens,” she says.

“I’d love to. But if [Kris] did [become the next Bachelor], I’d ask Channel 10 if I could be a contestant!”

“I’d love to meet someone. I’m almost 30. I’ve never been in a relationship except a fake one for six years,” reveals the star, who was catfished by a female friend who pretended to be her online boyfriend.

And with a track record of being a clear fan favourite – she won audience-voted Australian Idol in 2004 and I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Outta Here! this year, it’s no wonder producers want to get her on board.

After shedding 36kg since leaving the South African jungle, a “confident” and “happy” Casey is open to more TV time.

“If it’s The Bachelorette, for sure,” she tells.

“Hopefully 2018 can bring some more joy.”

Former Bachelorette Sophie Monk thinks Casey is a top choice. When asked if she’d be happy to hand over the reigns to her, Soph says: “Totally. It’s a great experience and I’m all for it.”
