Now, after weeks of silence, the reality TV star has finally set the record straight, revealing they’re dating! Yep, they’re just pals!
“Absolutely not, we are not dating,” he told The Daily Telegraph. “We are good friends though.”
Confirming that he’s single and looking to settle down, the Queensland based plumber says that despite vowing to never return to reality TV, he’s now considering giving Bachelor In Paradise another crack.
“For sure I would love to do the show again,” he said, before addressing his controversial portrayal on the first season. “I’m not going to bag out the show but I would say I’m not the bad guy I was portrayed as,” Goldsmith told Confidential. “For sure I would love to do the show again.”
Bill made a name for himself as last season’s “snake” when he was caught going on a date with former Bachelor contestant Florence Alexandra after he’d already coupled with Alex Nation. Bill has since revealed that the show was heavily edited and intentionally portrayed him in a negative light.
“The thing that really got me is that Alex and I were the only legitimate couple to finish the season and they chose to still portray me in that drama rather than showing the one true love story that actually happened.”
When the series aired, he also slammed Network 10 for ruining his reputation.
“You know Bachelor In Paradise is struggling with ratings when MasterChef takes over,” he wrote on Instagram. “They have edited me and made me out to be someone who I’m not, all for their TV ratings. The ratings are another flop anyways, so not really sure it was all worth it.”
Following ferocious backlash from viewers for his treatment of Florence he publicly apologised.
Writing on Instagram Bill said: “I’d like to wholeheartedly apologise to @florencealexandras for speaking about her like I did, no one deserves that.”
