In 2021 Brooke Blurton made Australian TV history as the first ever Indigenous and bisexual Bachelorette. She was the reality star Australia was rooting for but when the cameras stopped rolling, the fairytale quickly ended.
Shortly after filming wrapped, Blurton was notified that her sister, Ky, had died suddenly in Perth – something producers kept from her for two or three days. She travelled to Western Australia to arrange the funeral but had to complete 14 days of Covid quarantine alone, while grieving her loss.
