The New Year seems to get more exciting for fans of Clayton Echard as he's set to appear as the next Bachelor on the 26th season of the ABC hit show 'The Bachelor'. We met Clayton last year on Michelle Young's season but sadly had to head home after he failed to impress the girl. But those who loved him and his charming personality need not fret as they'll get to see a whole lot of him, now that he's the leading man.

Season 26 will follow a familiar format where 31 gorgeous ladies will compete to steal his hearts and eventually one will end up as Mrs Echard. The show filled with drama, romance, rivalry, and passion is set to hit screens in a matter of hours. Here's a look at one of the women who will compete for his attention in 'The Bachelor' Season 26.
