Vanessa, Cass and Brooke all want to win the Honey Badger's heart.

Vanessa, Cass and Brooke all want to win the Honey Badger's heart.

Let The Bachelor fun begin.

Australia is about to fall in or out of love with Ten's new bachie, Nick 'Honey Badger' Cummins, as he begins his quest to find 'the one' on national TV.

Ahead of the season six premiere, which will follow The Honey Badger's journey, pictures and details about the 25 contestants have emerged.

"I agree with you, I'm probably not the best looking Bachelor you've ever had" 😂 Hear our exclusive first message from your new Bachelor, @nickbadger #TheBachelorAU

A post shared by TheBachelorAU (@thebachelorau) on Aug 2, 2018 at 10:52pm PDT

This year's show is already shaping up to be filled with all the romance, laughs and drama that we've come to love.

But there will be some controversial figures and moments to come.

From a political adviser to a fashion designer and a flight attendant, the single ladies are all aged between 23 and 34 and live both in Australia and abroad.

It has also already been revealed that Cummins' has history with one of the girls on the show, which is bound to stir some trouble in The Bachelor mansion.

In a world first for The Bachelor, the woman who makes the best impression at the introductory rose ceremony will be given a key to Cummins' bachelor pad, which she will be free to use at any time during the series.

But the catch is she will only be able to use it once — talk about throwing a cat among the pigeons!

Channel 10 has promised this season will be one of the most exciting yet, largely thanks to Cummins' quirky personality and popularity.

Episode one premieres on Bravo NZ next Tues 21st Aug at 8:30pm.
