Star of The X Factor, Johnny Ruffo, and Nathan Joliffe from Celebrity Apprentice Australia came in second and third place, respectively.

"It was a surprise and it was such an amazing contingency of guys up there [on stage]. It was truly an honour to be named the 25th-year CLEO Bachelor of the Year," Quinn told AAP following his victory.

Quinn was chosen out of 50 bachelors after 1.9 million votes were cast by the public.
