We know The Bachelorette loves to bring the drama – but becoming involved in a missing persons scandal might be too much even for this show.
WATCH: Angie Kent wasn’t Ryan Anderson’s first choice!
And it’s for that very reason that the producers implemented a rule for all contestants who make it onto the hit reality TV series.
Although the names of the lads fighting it out for love are closely guarded ahead of the series airing, the lucky men have to tell someone they’re about to disappear without a trace during filming.
After all, if they make it to the final few, they could be ‘missing’ for months – which miiiiight make their friends worry just a tiny bit.
Well, you would hope.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia this week, one of the boys from Angie’s bunch of hopefuls revealed that they had to “tell at least one friend or family member” they had been cast on the program before they would be allowed to continue on their love journey.
“They make you do this to prevent anybody filing a missing persons report and the police getting involved as you could be away for so long,” he explained.
It makes sense – after all, once they’re signed up and filming gets underway, all the boys’ phones are taken away, leaving them completely off the grid for up to two months if they make it to the finale.
With fan favourite Jackson Garlick leaving the show last week, that leaves Carlin Sterritt, Timm Hanly and Ryan ‘Aussie Dog Guy’ Anderson charging towards the finish line in the race for Angie’s heart.
Angie couldn’t fight back her tears in last Thursday’s ep, as she bid farewell to Jackson, who later told 10 Daily that he should have opened up sooner.
However, it seems the sweet guy has well and truly recovered – in exclusive pictures recently obtained by Who, the 25-year-old was seen partying it up in a pair of teeny, tiny budgie smugglers, alongside fellow ex-contestant Ciarran Stott… and a stunning mystery lady!
Leaving little to the imagination in a pair of watermelon-print swimmers and a fedora hat, Jackson can be seen swigging from a bottle of alcohol whilst draping his arm around the mystery brunette.
