What a tease! TV3 fakes contestants in new Bachelor promo

A teaser for the upcoming second season of The Bachelor NZ has been released, leaving us all wondering who the new Bach will be.

A short sneak peek shows an undoubtedly handsome man getting dressed up in a suit and tie - his face strategically obscured - before walking past a string of beautiful women, whose eyes are all on him. Then, while still out of focus, he hands out a single red rose.

But sources have confirmed none of the people in the trailer are actual contestants. Instead, it was filmed using hired models.

The real identity of the new Bachelor won't be revealed until the official launch party for the show.

Last year, Art Green was unveiled to media at a launch party, which took place at the same time the first episode debuted on-air.

The new season is set to begin next month on TV3.
