Reality star Harry Jowsey has flirted, broken hearts and lied on TV. But now the 28-year-old Australian says he is ready to find his soulmate – and he is nervous.
Last month, applications opened on a website for his new Netflix reality show, Let’s Marry Harry, with thousands of people signing up for the chance to be the former Too Hot to Handle star’s bride.
“I didn’t think anyone would click on it, because it’s a vulnerable thing to do to apply for a dating show, especially one where we’re getting married,” Jowsey said, laughing. “It’s like ‘Oh, people like me!’”
Netflix is counting on it.
Reality TV is a key part of the streaming platform’s programming strategy, which aims to take the place of traditional TV with a wide variety of programming for virtually every demographic.
