Liam Hemsworth fans launch petition for him to be next Bachelor Australia

Things may be over with Miley Cyrus but love could still be on the horizon for Liam Hemsworth - as Australia's next Bachelor.

Fans are pushing for the Aussie actor to take on the role for the next season of The Bachelor, which would see dozens of women vying for his love and affection.

They've even started up a petition at change.org, urging Australia's Network Ten to get the ball rolling and "do the right thing".

The odds of the youngest Hemsworth agreeing to the reality TV show are slim, despite what would likely be a hefty pay cheque and ratings through the roof.

After the couple's very public split, which saw pics of Cryus kissing reality TV star Kaitlynn Carter in Italy released, Hemsworth hunkered down in Byron Bay with older brother Chris, later releasing an Instagram post wishing his ex well.

"Just a quick note to say that Miley and I have recently separated and I wish her nothing but health and happiness going forward... Peace and Love," he wrote next to a photo of a beach at sunset.

The couple was married for eight months but had been dating off and on since 2009
