He's one of the most recognisable faces on Australian television thanks to hosting bothThe BachelorandThe Bachelorette.

And according to News Corp,we will be seeing a lot more of popular presenter Osher Gunsberg.

The affable 41-year-old is set to host next year's After The Final Rose special, which sees former contestants brought back to dish the dirt on fellow TV stars of hit Channel Ten show.

The network's head of entertainment and factual programmes Stephen Tate, said: 'Osher is one of the most capable hosts live and we definitely want to do that next year.'

The After The Final Rose special is a raging hit in the US on both series in the franchise and sees stars of the shows reunite to catch up on events after the cameras stopped rolling.

Mr Tate confirmed The Bachelor and The Bachelorette will return next year and a spin off series could be in the works with ideas for Bachelor Pad or Bachelor Pad in Paradise, also screened in the US.

He added the next series of The Bachelorette will be longer for fans after the success of the Australian version of the show, even though it only runs for five weeks.

'It all comes down to casting, but this season has given us great confidence,' he said.

Osher, who was previously known as 'Andrew G,' first hosted The Bachelor from its first series in 2013 and the first season of The Bachelorette.

Since then, he has overseen Tim Robards and Anna Heinrich find love on the show, watched as Blake Garvey proposed to Sam Frost - and later split, - and Sam Wood choose Snezana Markoski as his winner.

Osher first kicked off his hosting career at Channel V from 1999 and moved to Channel Ten in 2003 hosting Australian Idol, with James Mathison.

Of late, his hair has become a talking point for Bachelor and Bachelorette fans, and memes have been created and shared online.

On Thursday night's highly anticipated episode of The Bachelorette, Sam, 26, will reveal who has won her heart.

In the running, are bachelors Sasha Mielczarek, Richie Strahan and Michael Turnbull, with one of them getting the boot on Wednesday night.

Does this mean Richie's the one? Perth hunk Strahan jets into Sam Frost's hometown of Melbourne at same time The Bachelorette is there visiting her family

She's likened her meetings with her chosen love to top secret covert operations as she tries to keep the winner of The Bachelorette a secret until the finale airs this week.

So it seemed particularly telling at the weekend when Sam Frost and favourite Richie Strahan happened to be in the same city at the same time.

The hitherto unlucky in love 26-year-old left her adopted home of Sydney to spend time with her family in Melbourne on Saturday - the same day Perth boy Richie jetted into the Victorian capital.

Does this mean he's the one? Sam Frost and Richie Strahan both happened to be at the same place at the same time this weekend

Abseiling guru Richie made it noted that he was in town to catch the MotoGP race with friends and posted a photo of himself trackside alongside fellow reality star Kieren Nicholson to Instagram as proof.
The racetrack is located on Phillip Island which is just a short ferry ride away from Sam's former home on the Mornington Peninsular where she was catching up with her sister-in-law Callan Frost that very day.

The winning couple will need to be together after the dating show's final episode airs on Thursday to fulfil press commitments.

Nearby: Meanwhile 26-year-old Sam, who used to be based on the Mornington Peninsular, was catching up with her sister in law

Hint of something more? The pair were just a short ferry ride apart from each other on Saturday

This proved to be a massive spoiler prior to the Bachelor finale earlier this year, as Sam Wood was seen arriving at Sydney airport just minutes before his now girlfriend Snezana Markoski, prompting many to speculate she was his choice.

In a bid to avoid a repeat this time around, it is possible that Richie intends to stay in Melbourne until the episode goes to air as he has yet to share any information about whether he had returned home to Perth.

Fans of the show were sent into a spin recently when another hint surfaced suggesting the blond-haired hunk was the one.

While watching The Bachelorette at home with NOVA host Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli a man's laugh very much reminiscent of Richie's can be heard off camera.

Is he still there? Richie may be staying in Melbourne until the finale airs on Thursday

Family time: Sam has been spending quality time with her siblings ahead of the winner's reveal and is pictured here with her brother Alex on Monday

It prompted fans to comment: 'sound like Ritchie laughing in the background!!??' while another wrote on Instagram: 'RICHIE RICHIE RICHIE.'

Another piece of evidence that could be used to suggest the hunk takes out Sam's heart is that the beauty says she refers to her boyfriend as 'Rodger' to avoid accidentally letting his name slip while out in public.

The chosen moniker bares a much stronger resemblance to Richie's name than fellow finalists Sasha Mielczarek and Michael Turnbull.

Hint hint? Interestingly, Sam's code name for her chosen love is Rodger, which is very similar to Richie
is this Richie's version of the iguana?

Is that him? In a video that shows Sam watching the show with radio host Wippa, a man's voice that sounds a lot like Richie's can be heard laughing in the background (could be the cameraman ... her brother ... who knows!)

oh don't start on Lisa now lol

I've followed both Lisa and Jake on twitter & instagram since the show and she is a very positive person and really lovely

 

[crimmy]

probably a lie but they want him to win so don't know why they would lie:

Marmar15, Perth, Australia, about 15 hours ago
Nope he is back in Perth, was on the same plane as him! Hope he is who Sam chooses!

It bugs me how DM always spell it Mornington Peninsular. No r kids.

Their editing team sucks.

I wasn't a fan of her on the show but that's nice I guess.

their TEAM sucks ... I'm not convinced these people writing the "stories" aren't media students at HSC level ... even THAT is embarrassing given the level of errors

but yes their editors need their bums kicked but I guess because its online content and here today gone tomorrow they don't really care - they just want it up online fast

I'm excited!! ATFR is necessary I believe. To bring back not only the former contestants but to also catch up with the couple and where they're at.

I hope also they bring in 'Women Tell All' and 'Men Tell All' when it's down to final 2.

you mean you're not going to keep up with the couple via the Daily Mail forevs and evs???

Actually they're pretty much even in bitchiness lol. I think it's good though because the contestants can address reasons why they said certain things and people were eliminated (especially say top 5 ) can get answers as to why they weren't the one etc. It also is quite funny I think because some contestants obviously don't like how they came across on the show and some are bitter but mostly it's a good chance to catch up with what they were thinking at certain moments.

I'd rather hear it from their own mouths if possible lol. Mind you in these days of Instagram etc it's pretty obvious anyway.

Looking tan-tastic! Bachelorette Sam Frost is radiant as she flaunts glowing tan and sensational figure in clinging ensemble on eve of show finale
ByDANIELLE GUSMAROLI FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA

They say falling in love gives you a special glow and Bachelorette Sam Frost was positively radiant as she left the Nova radio station on the eve of the show finale.

The 26-year-old reality star paraded a glowing tan as she sauntered out of the radio station offices in a peach sleeveless high neck top and skintight grey skirt on Wednesday.

Carrying a takeaway coffee, she showcased her enviable physique, the result of months of hard labour in the gym.

Not an inch to pinch: Bachelorette Sam Frost flaunts glowing tan and sensational figure in clinging ensemble as she leaves Nova radio station on eve of show finale on Wednesday

Wearing her hair back in a gold band, the bubbly brunette chatted animatedly to her note-wielding companion as she teetered around in high gold strappy sandals that accentuated her deep glow.

She was at the station at sunrise talking about the moment she eliminates the final third contestant saying she found it so hard she broke down in tears afterwards.

She told the Fitzy and Wippa Nova 96.9breakfast show that she woke up beside her chosen one this morning with the excitement that after two more shows they can go public with their love.

Working it: Sam has honed her physique though a combination of classes, walking and yoga

And Bachelor Sam Wood called to wish her luck for the finale on Thursday.

'Keep doing what you're doing,' he told her. 'I know how hard it is to keep the secret but it'll be worth it in the end. I wish you all the best.'

Sam's new look is the result of gruelling workouts in the gym, combining classes, walking and yoga.

She toldNew Ideamagazine: 'I do spin classes two times a week, sometimes three,' adding she also walks an average of around ten kilometres a day according to her Fitbit activity tracker.

'I have a yoga mat and a 5 kg medicine ball, so in the ad breaks when I'm watching TV, I do a couple of sit-ups.'

Careful: The reality star said she was conscious not to over indulge during filming for The Bachelorette

If you've got it flaunt it: She leaves Nova Radio Station in Sydney looking swell

Opening up about gaining 12 kilos while filming The Bachelor starring Blake Garvey last year, Sam said: 'Coming out of the house, I didn't even recognise myself... I wanted to feel good and be confident, so I started working out and looking after myself again'.

Following her public jilting by The Bachelor 2014 Blake Garvey who proposed on the show before dumping her for second runner up Louise Pillidge, Sam told Daily Mail Australia that she'd got her figure and confidence back through 'balance'.

'In the house we did absolutely nothing and we just sat around eating the whole time and it was honestly just moving around again,' Sam explained about the living arrangements on The Bachelor.

Transformation: Sam, who has managed to bounce back into shape and look better than ever after putting on 10 kilos following The Bachelor Australia, has revealed her diverse exercise regime

'I was eating chocolate every single day, and just heaps of bread in the house.

Meanwhile in an interview withNW magazine recently, the reality star said she was conscious of – and resisted – the chance to over indulge during filming for The Bachelorette.

'This time I ate really healthily,' she told the publication.

'I didn't have a single bit of junk at all, which is huge for me. I can eat 14 pieces of bread a day!'

However, despite her enviable physique, the Melbourne-born star says she still battles body insecurities.

'I don't have any abs and I get a little bit of a pot belly!'

I maintain that you can't edit what you don't put out there ...
so for instance someone like Emily ... sitting around with other women, passing judgemental comments around about other women and doing the rolling eyes things - if she didn't do that they could not have editted her being that way ...

He's loving the limelight! Bachelorette star Michael Turnbull checks out Daily Mail article about himself... then shows it to pals
By Megan Pustetto For Daily Mail Australia

He has been branded ‘fame hungry’ since making his debut on The Bachelorette.

And if his recent actions are anything to go by, Michael Turnbull is definitely not doing anything to quell the accusations that he is on the show for fame, and not love.

The 34-year-old former football player was seen showing of a Daily Mail Australia article about himself to his friends as he enjoyed a few quiet beers in Brisbane ahead of the finale on Thursday.

Loving the attention! Michael Turnbull was seen sharing a Daily Mail Australia article about himself to his friends as he enjoyed a few beers in Brisbane ahead of the finale on Thursday

An act of self promotion! The reality star proudly showed the article to guests seated at the table

Looking extremely chuffed with his mention on the site, the reality star couldn’t wipe the smile from his face as he proudly read the details of the article out aloud to guests seated at the table.

The article which entertained the television star was titled: 'Are Michael and Richie Sam Frost's final two?'

His happy reaction to the publicity suggests that the reality star is enjoying the attention his new found stardom has brought.

After he finished reading the article, the hunky bachelor then got on the phone, and was seen chatting animatedly – maybe even sharing the news of his feature with more members of his inner circle.

Once he finished up talking on his mobile, Michael looked to be in high spirits as he shared a laugh with his mates as they sipped on their alcohol beverages, possibly divulging details on his relationship status with Sam Frost.

For the casual outing, the former Brisbane Strikers player dressed in figure hugging white T-shirt which emphasised his ripped torso and showed off his heavily inked arms.

He paired the laid back top with a pair of blue denim jeans and baby blue Polo Ralph Lauren sneakers which featured brown laces.

Michael chose to stick to his signature accessories on the day, which consisted of a large gold watch and a collection of beaded black bracelets.

Itc omes after Michael made the most of his foray into the public eye, setting up a Facebook fan page for himself a few weeks before The Bachelorette went to air.

He also took the opportunity to set up a fashion website, titled Red Carpet With Michael.

The website's homepage reads: 'Michael has always had a passion for quality in everything that he does, including fashion, travel, jewellery through to food and wine'.

Written in the site's description is: 'It is his goal to share his favourite fashion labels, business ideas, travel destinations and even his favourite food and wine tips with you.'

In July this year, Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed that the professional soccer player had been selected by Channel Ten last year to star on The Bachelor, but that he was dropped by the station in favour of Blake Garvey.

Elated: Once he finished up on the phone, Michael looked to be in high spirits

Relaxing: He shared a laugh with his mates as they sipped on their alcohol beverages, possibly divulging details on his relationship status with Sam Frost

At the time, a source told DMA that Michael 'was second in line behind Blake for The Bachelor, so it doesn't surprise me at all that he has done this now', referring to Michael's announcement that he would appear on The Bachelorette.

'They flew him to Sydney for interviews and screen tests, but he lost out to Blake, hence why they then asked him on the Bachelorette' said the source.

'I'm not sure he is in it for the love, however, as he is a bit of a "bachelor for life"', they added.

The sportsman has been dipping his toes into entrepreneurial waters for some time, having established two successful businesses in the three years since 2012.

The first is an online talent platform for professional athletes called My Athlete Profile and the other is a real estate agency titled Onehome Real Estate.

Fame hungry: Making the most of his foray into the public eye, Michael set up a Facebook fan page for himself a few weeks before The Bachelorette went to air, suggesting he wanted fame before love

LOL at the DM calling Michael fame hungry while they're the ones that wrote the stories about him to begin with and then wrote another about him reading said story Hahahaha they never cease to get a chuckle out of me.

If she dumps Richie before the final two it will be Heathergate all over again, and she kind of deserves what she gets

See Richie is my favourite too but I don't see it that way at all. Sam not picking Heather didn't tick me off, but the way he treated her did. He told her he felt more for her than friendship - despite saying afterwards he never did...and he took her on a hometown date she begged him not to unless he was serious about her...which again he wasn't.

Sam (Frost) hasn't done anything like that to Richie. She hasn't handled his feelings with zero care like Sam did to Heather. Yes I think Richie is the best choice for her too, but I don't think she deserves "what she gets" either if she doesn't choose him (providing she doesn't do anything awful to him between now and the end).
