This morning, the new couple made the rounds doing press interviews, and while they are still together, there is still a very special place for Timm in Angie’s heart. And she isn’t afraid of Carlin knowing it.
While chatting on the Kyle and Jackie O show on KIIS FM with Carlin by her side, Angie acknowledged that the entire nation was rooting for Timm, admitting that she did in fact fall in love with him during the process.
“Timm is such a character, and falling in love with him… well all of Australia did! Watching him go from this full on lad to a romantic.”
While Carlin never had a bad word for Timm, he did admit that watching it back and seeing Angie’s connection with Timm was exceptionally hard.
“It is hard to watch. I do get the sick feeling in the stomach.” However, that didn’t stop Angie from gushing about the runner-up during her radio interview.
“Timm and I have spoken a lot. Carlin knows this. He checked on me to ask how I was and he tells me what he’s up to. It’s very very friendly, and I did say that Timm was my soulmate. I have soulmates. Yvie is my soulmate. I have best friends that are my soulmates. I think it came down to the fact that Timm was my soulmate. He was my best friend,” she admitted, referring to the heartbreaking way she had to let Timm go last night during the finale.
Sent to Byron Bay to shoot the final commitment ceremony, Angie did call Timm her soulmate to his face, only to lead him to the dreaded “but” that all runner-up’s know too well.
Despite being dumped by Angie, Timm still gave Angie a ring as a token of their time together. “Timm gave me that gift and it’s my gift. It’s something to remember him by. Not as a romantic thing, but as our time together… but that’s just Timm,” Angie said on the breakfast show.
“He does whatever he wants. They [producers] told him ‘Don’t do it’, and he just goes ‘I’m going to do it anyway,’ because we had a beautiful time together and it’s sweet.”
One of the main reasons why Angie decided to choose Carlin over Timm wasn’t didn’t seem to be based on who she loved more.
The Gogglebox star admitted to loving a part of each man who were in the top three, including Ryan Anderson. Instead, she chose the man who would “ground” her the most.
“I’m the one that always gets myself into trouble. I think this guy [Carlin] can ground me a little bit more.”
While Angie will always have love for Timm, the 27-year-old fireproofer has closed the door on Angie, despite joking with her during the finale to call him if it didn’t work out with Carlin.
Speaking to on the same radio show after Angie and Carlin left the studio, he revealed that he would not take Angie back if the opportunity ever arose.
Beau Ryan who was filling in for Kyle, asked Timm the question that could change everything in the future.
“If she comes crawling back, will you accept?” adding that it’s possible Angie and Carlin will split very soon.
“Nah I don’t reckon hey,” Timm said bluntly, elaborating that he wouldn’t want his heart broken twice. “I have been talking to her though. I think me and Angie will be mates forever.”

It might not be the last time we see Timm on our screens though. Speaking to 10 Daily, the tall drink of water hinted that he might be heading to Bachelor in Paradise, or even take on the role as the next Bachelor.
What more could Australia ask for?
“I’d definitely be open to doing something like again,” he said to the publication. “Although it didn’t work out the way I wanted it to, it was definitely one of the best times I’ve ever had in my life. A hundred per cent open to doing something like it again.”
