Gerry Turner says his overnight stays with other contestants on “The Golden Bachelor” might not be what fans of the series are used to.

Speaking with ET, Turner went into detail about how his upcoming stint on the new “Bachelor” is going to look.

“I just think that a Fantasy Suite for someone of my age may look quite different,” the 72-year-old said. “The activities could be quite different than for someone in their 20s and 30s.

Turner explained potential happenings in the Suite “really don’t” make him nervous, he did joke that “they make my daughters a lot more nervous than me.”

Turner is father to two daughters and grandpa to two granddaughters.

In past iterations of “The Bachelor,” Fantasy Suites are utilized when the leading person has their final suitors down to three. Things have been known to get physical on the show, even on night one.

“That they said absolutely none of that. They said don’t do it,” Tuner said of some advice from his daughters. He then joked he’s “been ignoring that part of the advice.”

Turning serious, he did say he’s been receiving good advice from those close to him for navigating the show.

“They said pick your moments. They said enjoy every minute you can,” he said.

“The Golden Bachelor” will premiere on ABC this fall.
