The sparks were undeniable when Jay Lal locked eyes on Bachelor Jimmy Nicholson during their first night in the mansion.
WATCH Jimmy Nicholson speaks about his dating history
During their one-on-one time, the pair hit it off and realised how much they had in common, including their New Zealand and Fijian heritage.
Jay even scored herself the first advantage of the season: the business lounge key, which gives her uninterrupted access to Jimmy during cocktail parties.
Despite the fairy tale beginning to their romance, Jay admits it wasn’t love at first sight when she first met Jimmy.
“I have never ever experienced love at first sight,” the 31-year-old told The Daily Telegraph.
“I can see an attractive guy and know he is good looking or hot but it is not until I really get to know the person that I can see whether there will be a future.”
To avoid potential spoilers, Jay remained tight-lipped when asked if she is currently in love with Jimmy.
“I don’t know if I can answer that,” she laughed.
But it wasn’t until they started swapping jokes that the Kiwi nutritionist realised Jimmy could be the one for her.
Bookies have marketing manager Holly Kingston as favourite to win, with TAB and SportBet placing her in at number one, with her odds at 1.10 and 1.50 respectively.
The rest of the ladies’ odds are significantly lower than Holly’s, with TAB placing Ashleigh Freckleton second at 8.00, and SportsBet placing Lily Price at 7.00 in the second spot.
Coming in third by TAB is Jay at 9.00, and Brooke Cleal fourth most likely to win with 10.00 by SportsBet.
