Brown found fame as a contestant vying for Colton Underwood’s heart on season 23 of ABC’s popular dating show, The Bachelor, in 2019.

While Colton ultimately picked Cassie Randolph, Hannah earned the chance to be The Bachelorette for season 15.

She gave her final rose to Jed Wyatt, but broke off their relationship after it was revealed he had a girlfriend back at home. 

Her romance with Bachelor runner-up, Tyler Cameron, was fleeting as the pair separated due to lack of a connection.

Shortly after their break-up, Hannah said: ‘I want a man, not a boy who just has their c*** together, can be a rock and be, like, super supportive of me. 

‘But also, right now, it doesn’t really matter. I just want a cute guy to hang out with and take me on a date. It’s expensive out here.’ 

She went on to take part in season 28 of ABC’s Dancing With The Stars.

She and pro dance partner Alan Bersten went on to win the coveted mirrorball trophy.
