Singer Una Healy and social media personality Garron Noone are set to join current Celebrity Big Brother contestant Louis Walsh and Anne Doyle on the judging panel of this year's Westmeath Bachelor Competition.
The event takes place in Mullingar on 2 August and applications are now open.
According to organisers, "It’s time for the men of Ireland to step into the spotlight and show the nation they have what it takes to be the face of Ireland’s modern man!"
Speaking about the new gig, Healy said, "The Westmeath Bachelor Competition is going to be great fun! I'm really looking forward to the evening. Can’t wait to team up with my fellow judges Louis, Anne and Garron, I am sure sparks will fly!"
Noone added, "Dare I say, I know a thing or two about being a bachelor so I will know exactly what to look for and what to avoid! If you have pineapple on your pizza - immediate no.
"If you use your air fryer to make tea, also no. But if you appreciate the humble Twix bar as much as me, I think we are onto something. I’m really looking forward to working with Louis, Anne and Úna too - they’re all legends."
Last year’s bachelor finalists were whittled down from hundreds of entrants who had to undergo rigorous questions from Louis, Anne and fellow judges, Pippa and Brian Ormond.
29-year-old local lad Ciaran Clarke from Rosemount, Westmeath triumphed and was crowned winner after impressing the judges and wowing the audience with his self-penned song which he performed on guitar and harmonica.
Working in a legal firm in Dublin, Ciaran revealed his lifetime ambition was to represent Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest.
Along with the title of Westmeath Bachelor and the ambassadorial role, the winner receives an all-inclusive holiday and a trophy.
If you are a bachelor who wishes to take part, you must be over 18 and you can apply here.
