Gay broadcaster Mike Puru has been announced as the host of The Bachelor New Zealand. The co-host of The Edge’s breakfast show, and shopping channel presenter, says he is “really excited” about the series. “It's the perfect combination of drama and fun and no doubt it’s going to make for addictive viewing.” It will be the first time the show has come to New Zealand. It will pit a bunch of women against each other in a battle for a bachelor’s affections.Puru came out live on air on The Edge in 2010, saying "this is a very hard thing for me to talk about, and for years I've never really mentioned it... but I think it is time that I came clean. Yes... I am gay."
