Channel 5 have officially announced Alex Marks as The Bachelor 2019.
A 31-year-old personal trainer from London, Alex certainly has all the physical attributes to rev the engines of the nation.
But besides the press releases and loose facts about how he looks just like Aquaman, who actually is Alex Marks?
Here are seven facts you didn’t know!
- The Bachelor UK: Start date, cast, presenter and episode guide!
- Meet the cast of new Netflix series Dating Around
- When is First Dates Hotel and First Dates 2019? Can I still apply?
Alex Went to Uni
According to his LinkedIn profile, Alex studied physical education at Leeds Metropolitan University from 2007-2009.
That’s right, you can do PE outside of secondary school!
Ales hails from Kent, however, and moved back to the London area as a personal trainer at Fitness First, before working his way up to launching his own business.
He’s an Actual Giant
Alex is an actual giant, standing at 6ft 6
That means he’s got a whole three inches on Aquaman actor Jason Momoa… three inches!
Alex is a Business Owner
In his Channel 5 interview, Alex confessed that he has put a potential love life on the backburner while launching his own fitness company.
Alex owns ‘On The Marks’, a fitness company based in Clapham, which he launched last year.
This isn’t his first business venture, though, having also launched Zinc Fitness in 2012.
He Didn’t Always Have Wavy Locks
For some, Alex’s wavy locks are the selling point of his look.
For others, however, they’re probably not into it.
Which do you prefer?
Alex Loves His Abs
As with all personal trainers, Alex loves his abs.
His Instagram is full of topless photos, and you can join the action by following him at @on.your.marks.
He Has Zero Ex’s
We trolled Alex’s entire Instagram attempting to find an ex-girlfriend and found absolutely nothing.
Perhaps he really is the ultimate Bachelor? Perhaps there’s a reason he doesn’t have an ex’s? Perhaps he just wants the opportunity to promote his company?
Or, perhaps we’re just extremely cynical.
Alex in Five Words
During a 2016 interview with The Beauty Shortlist, Alex was asked to describe himself in five words.
He answered: “Ambitious, insightful, selfless, genuine, passionate.”
Only time will tell on those answers…
