Jenny McCarthy was rejected by The Bachelorette

41-year-old television co-host Jenny McCarthy has revealed she was once rejected by The Bachelorette.

On The View, Barbara Walters revealed that Jenny tried out for the show in 2005 saying “You tried out to be a Bachelorette and you did not make it.”

“No one knows that,” Jenny admitted. “When I got a divorce, I was lonely. I needed to be loved.”

“I did this show called Singled Out on MTV back in the day, so I knew that if I thought it would be great because I was single and I love TV, so put those together and brilliant,” Jenny added.

Jenny continued, “So I got my agent to call ABC and say I wanted to be the new Bachelorette and they said, ‘No we’re not using celebrities at this time.’ That was 10 years ago.”
