Samantha Armytage Teases Golden Bachelor Premiere: Widowed Dad Seeks Love
Samantha Armytage has given fans a first glimpse at the set of season one of the Golden Bachelor.
On Thursday, the TV show’s presenter, who is set to lead the dating program, posted a selfie on Instagram Stories while seated in the makeup chair prior to filming scenes for the series.
At age 48, she was bustling about, preparing herself elegantly for her on-screen part, since filming had commenced.
‘Getting ready to bring you something golden’ Sam wrote in the caption alongside the image.
Sam was dressed casually for her styling session in a long sleeved blue shirt and a pair of jeans.
She was in the process of having her locks tended by a stylist while she shot a mirror selfie.
It comes after the very first Golden Bachelor was revealed.
The filming of the Channel Nine dating program specifically designed for mature, unattached individuals seeking another chance at romance has commenced.
Exclusively, Daily Mail Australia reports that Barry ‘Bear’ Myrden, a 50-something Sydney-based infrastructure engineer with a love for sailing, has been chosen to star in the forthcoming Australian version of the project.
In exclusive pictures, Myrden was seen filming the show in Sydney on Wednesday.
He sailed like James Bond, navigating a vintage Italian speedboat over the Harbor, all while donning a sleek black tuxedo and a coordinating bow tie.
As a seasoned professional in the tech sphere, I, personally, take pride in my role as a Data Centre Manager within the esteemed Woolworths Group. Being a dad to three wonderful children, I balance my career and family life with dedication and enthusiasm. In essence, I strive to apply the same level of care and precision in managing data centers that I do in nurturing my family.
For several decades, he has been a seasoned professional, occupying top positions at prominent organizations such as Macquarie Bank and the New South Wales Port Authority.
Despite experiencing professional success, it’s been reported that Mr. Myrden’s personal life has been tinged with sorrow as he is a widower.

A confidant disclosed that Bear often voices concerns about his friends commenting that he’s consistently dating girls who are either too young or overly attractive for his age range.
It’s not surprising that he’s being considered for the Bachelor role, given our frequent suggestions that he would fit well in a reality TV show like Married at First Sight.
Despite his corporate background, Myrden is far from your typical office-bound executive.
A passionate sailor, he has competed in high-profile races like the Sydney to Hobart.
In a snapshot taken from one of his latest sea voyages, Myrden appeared strikingly attractive and robust while steering the yacht.
Instead of shows like The Bachelor and The Bachelorette that cater to younger audiences with romantic pursuits, The Golden Bachelor is designed for a more seasoned demographic, focusing on the journey of individuals who have already tasted love and heartbreak as they seek companionship during their later years.
‘Bear is not your usual reality TV type,’ an insider told Daily Mail Australia.
He possesses an appealing personality, combined with intelligence, and has experienced the richness of life in all its aspects – from love to loss, and now seems prepared to embrace new emotions. Many women will find him captivating.

Supporters of “The Bachelorette” from Australia have been advocating for a local adaptation ever since the American version made its debut last year, receiving widespread praise.
The producers aren’t revealing who might be competing for Myrden’s affection, but given the pattern from the American version, we can expect the program to provide a blend of touching instances, strong bonds, and surprising turns.
It was disclosed in November that the show “The Golden Bachelor” has been searching for participants using an unconventional method.
At the Royal Randwick racecourse in Sydney, a talent scout for the show could be seen distributing business cards to participants.
Ivanna Tang, a casting agent, decided on an unconventional approach by trying to entice horse racetrack attendees for the forthcoming spin-off series.
