Chris Harrison told Michael Strahan on “Good Morning America” Thursday that he plans to return to host the “The Bachelor” franchise after stepping back from the ABC dating series’ currently airing season amid backlash over his support for a current contestant accused of racist behavior.
“I plan to be back, and I want to be back. This interview is not the finish line. There is much more work to be done and I’m excited to be a part of that change,” Harrison told Strahan Thursday morning in the longtime “Bachelor” franchise host’s first interview since he paused his participation with the series in order to get “educated on a more profound and productive level than ever before.”
