ABC’s new dating show for senior citizens, The Golden Bachelor, has unveiled its first contestant in search of “a partner with whom to share the sunset years of life”.
Gerry Turner, a 71-year-old grandfather from Indiana, will be the first “hopeless romantic” who’s given a “second chance at love” on the spinoff series of the network’s hit Bachelor dating franchise. The franchise, which comprises The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise, typically centres on 20-to-30-year-old singles.
