There’s already plenty of talk about island romance on Australian Survivor, and doting dad Lee Carseldine, 40, has told OK! that he’s one of the castaways open to finding someone special on the show.

This isn’t the first time the former pro cricketer, who now works as an aerial photographer, has considered love in front of the cameras.

‘I tried out for the first season of The Bachelor,’ admits the father to 10-year-old Jake and eight-year-old Sam, explaining that his quest to find a lady is still ongoing, and that his perfect partner would be ‘active and healthy, with an intelligent and fun personality’.

With his two young boys watching on closely from his Queensland home, there is one thing Lee insists he won’t do on the show – and that’s compromise his values for the sake of the game. ‘I want to work hard, stay loyal and not backstab anyone,’ he shares, adding that going on Survivor Australia is ‘all for my two boys’. ‘I’m always teaching them to get out of their comfort zone, so I thought this would be a good example.’
