Louis Walsh and Anne Doyle aim to find Ireland’s Bachelor of the year
Calling all single men! Anne Doyle and Louis Walsh are on the hunt for Ireland’s most eligible bachelor.
The Westmeath Bachelor Competition 2024 takes place in Mullingar on Friday 2 August and applications to take part are now open.
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!
Age is not a barrier once you are over 18, a good head of hair and your own teeth are preferable but not necessary!
And no better person to judge the contestants than a veteran of spotting talent, returning judge Louis Walsh.
Back with the maestro on the panel is Anne Doyle.
Last year this judging duo were joined by celebrity couple Pippa and Brian Ormond as guest judges.
Last year’s bachelor finalists were whittled down from hundreds of entrants who had to undergo rigorous questioning from the celeb judging panel, as well as perform their talent pieces.
In what was a tense, 29-year-old Westmeath man Ciaran Clarke was crowned winner after impressing the judges and wowing the audience with a self-penned song which he performed on guitar and harmonica.
Despite the intense competition, the judges were unanimous in their choice of winner, who won them over with his charisma and captivating performance, and he was an equally popular choice with the audience, who couldn’t get enough of him!
Along with the title of Westmeath Bachelor, the winner receives an all-inclusive holiday, a new wardrobe and a cash donation to his chosen charity.
