Heather Martin is returning to reality TV.
The two-time “Bachelor” hopeful—who revealed she had never been kissed during Colton Underwood’s season of “The Bachelor” and later attempted to join Matt James’ season mid-filming, is set to continue her search for love on season 4 of “Farmer Wants a Wife.”
GettyMartin, 30, will be among a group of women hoping to form a connection with one of the show’s three farmers as they navigate relationships and rural life.
Heather Martin’s ‘Bachelor’ Journey
FOXMartin first appeared on season 23 of “The Bachelor” in 2019, starring Colton Underwood.
At the time, Martin shared that she had never been kissed. During the season, in which her job title was listed as “Never Been Kissed,” she received her first kiss from Underwood.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better [first kiss],” Martin said back in 2019 on the “Almost Famous” podcast, per Us Weekly, adding that it was “so surreal” and “great.”
Martin ultimately eliminated herself in week 7 ahead of hometown dates.
“You’re something so special. But right now, I just don’t think it’s fair to you,” she told the Bachelor.
A couple of years later, Martin tried her luck with Bachelor Nation once again—this time, on Matt James’ season 25. She arrived mid-season in a minivan in hopes of meeting James after she said she received encouragement from her close friend and former Bachelorette Hannah Brown.
“I couldn’t let him get engaged and not meet him,” Martin said on the show, which premiered in January 2021.
Due to COVID-19 protocol, Martin quarantined and went under multiple COVID-19 tests before being allowed to enter the resort, People reported at the time. She arrived during a cocktail party and interrupted James’ conversation to introduce herself.
“I feel like I’m in a dream right now,” James said.
Her arrival drew strong reactions from other hopefuls—”You already had your [expletive] shot at a Bachelor, like, go home”—and she ultimately did not receive a rose.
