Jenny McCarthy was rejected by “The Bachelorette.”

“The View” host has revealed that she wanted to find love on the popular dating show back in 2005, only to be denied.

Barbara Walters broached the topic on Tuesday’s show, saying to McCarthy, “You tried out to be a ‘Bachelorette’ and you did not make it!”

“No one knows that!” replied McCarthy.

She explained that after her divorce, she was “lonely” and “needed to be loved.”

“I did this show called Singled Out on MTV back in the day, so I knew that if I thought it would be great because I was single and I love TV, so put those together and brilliant,” McCarthy continued.

The star recalled, “So I got my agent to call ABC and say I wanted to be the new ‘Bachelorette’ and they said, ‘No we’re not using celebrities at this time.’ That was 10 years ago.”

And that was that.

Emily Maynard is reportedly engaged for the fourth time.

The former “Bachelorette” is set to wed boyfriend Tyler Johnson.

Johnson proposed on Saturday with two diamond bands, giving one to Maynard and the other to her 8-year-old daughter Ricki.

The couple have been dating since last year, after meeting in church.

Maynard was previously engaged to Brad Womack, who proposed on “The Bachelor” in 2010, but they split the following year.

As the “Bachelorette,” she accepted Jef Holm’s proposal in 2012, before breaking up a few months later.

Both those engagements came after the death of her fiancé, race car driver Ricky Hendrick, who was in a fatal plane crash in 2004.
