Still looking for love! Jake Ellis says he wants to be The Bachelor after appearing on The Bachelorette once and BIP TWICE

Jake Ellis tried his luck at looking for love on The Bachelorette in 2016 and appeared on Bachelor In Paradise twice – but the handsome hunk is not ready to hang up his reality TV star gloves just yet. 

In a Q and A with fans on Instagram on Tuesday, the 34-year-old revealed he’d still be keen to hand out a rose or two on The Bachelor.

‘Do I think it will ever happen? No,’ he said in response to a fan who asked if he’d return to TV to find The One.

But all was hope was not lost for loyal Jake fans the QLD-based salesman confirmed, ‘Would I ever do it? Sure, sure.’

Jake’s willingness to return to the dating scene comes less than a month after his former girlfriend Megan Marx, confirmed she had moved on with new boyfriend, Keith Newman.

In January, the 31-year-old blonde introduced fans to her ‘handsome’ beau by sharing a loved-up selfie alongside him.

‘Keef. What a handsome f***er,’ she playfully captioned the sun-drenched image.

On season one of The Bachelor In Paradise, Jake met long-time on-again off-again girlfriend Meagn in 2018. They dated for almost 18 months and split.

The two then briefly reconciled in August last year, after Jake dramatically quit Bachelor In Paradise in season three during a rose ceremony to try and win Megan back.

‘I did find love [in Paradise last time] and, if anything, this experience has taught me that I’m still in love,’ he told his co-stars during the emotionally-charged scene.

‘I’m gonna take a chance, I’m gonna go fight for what I love and who I’m in love with.’
