Rhys Chilton is using The Bachelorette as a means to get over his failed marriage.
The 29-year-old model and topless entertainer, with a larger-than-life ego, married 24-year-old American Kelsi in 2014, but separated shortly afterwards because of a "turbulent" relationship.

The Bachelorette takes on Zoolander
In a modelling challenge, two Bachelorette contestants go head-to-head a-la the movie Zoolander.
"I've not dated since Kelsi and The Bachelorette Australia was an opportunity, albeit unorthodox, to see if I was ready to meet somebody," he told OK! magazine.
The character who everyone loves to hate, particularly fellow The Bachelorette star Sam Johnston, has so far kept his nuptials from viewers, but OK! magazine revealed the news on Wednesday.

Kelsi was unaware that her soon-to-be ex-husband was to star on the show, telling the magazine: "He only cares about himself … and should not be dating that beautiful girl Georgia [Love]."
While Kelsi didn't hold her tongue on her thoughts for Rhys, he decided to take the high road, saying:Â "Kelsi is a great girl and I've always wanted to see her happy in life."
He added that he told Love about his estranged wife and the former journalist said she understood.
