How to watch The Bachelor in the UK
If you want to watch the new 2024 season of The Bachelor in the UK, which is currently airing on US network ABC, you will need to use a VPN to stream the series.
VPNs (virtual private networks) are a popular way to access TV shows only available in other countries. VPNs are a really easy-to-use piece of software that lets you change your device's IP address so it looks like you’re in Australia. This means you can use any Australian streaming service such as 9Now as if you're in the country.
If you're already confused, don't panic. Our sister site, TechRadar, has put every major VPN service to the test to save you the hassle of sifting through the web yourself.
They've rated ExpressVPN as the best because, “It’s compatible with all of your devices, supports most streaming services, and ranks among the fastest. You can even install it on devices like an Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, and PlayStation. So for a one-stop-shop, you can’t go wrong with Express.”
Who is Joey Graziadei, the bachelor in season 28?

Now, the 28-year-old teaching tennis pro from Royersford, Pennsylvania is ready to find love once more and is ready to get to know 32 eligible ladies. The series was shot in Mdina in Malta, Marbella in Spain, Montreal in Canada, and Tulum in Mexico.
