Matt Agnew might’ve hooked up with a minimum of 17 ladies on this season of The Bachelor, but he claims he’s only slept with…. wait for it… 7 WOMEN IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE.
Do I believe him? No, but let’s go with it anyway.
Doing press rounds ahead of the tonight’s premiere, the 31-year-old astrophysicist appeared on Kyle & Jackie O’s radio program this morning where he was grilled about all things pertaining to his sex life.
“How many women do you think you’ve slept with?” radio shock-jock Kyle Sandilands asked the sexy scientist.
Stunned by the question, Matt awkwardly replied, “Funnily enough this is a question on the application form, I’m not sure what the desired answer is either… Rough number… 7. I’m going to stick with that.”
“That’s a very little number,” Kylie teased.
“It’s large enough for me, Kyle.”
While also on air, Matt opened up about that horrific fail of a trailer showing contestant Abbie Chatfield mistaking Matt’s profession as an astrologer for a star sign.
Their first conversation went a little something like this.
Abbie: What do you do?
Matt: I’m an astrophysicist.
Abbie: OK, I’m a Gemini.
Matt: I’m a Leo.
While the editing made it look like there wasn’t a whole lot going on between her ears (no offence), the devilishly handsome Bachelor has since explained she was pulling our leg! This morning, the devilishly handsome Bachelor was quizzed about their awkward encounter, revealing she’s the biggest jokester we’ll see this season.

“She’s very clever, very witty and loved to wind me up,” he said, to which Kyle replied, “Oh, so she was joking? Here we all are thinking she’s a dumbarse.”
“She knew how to wind me up. You can see based on my reaction it landed particularly well on me and she got the desired effect I think.”
Last week, Matt opened up about his time on the show, reassuring Australia that season seven is going to be different as he chooses someone at the final rose ceremony. So, basically, he’s confirmed he doesn’t pull a Nick Cummins on us!
Asked whether he’d found The One, Matt told The Courier Mail, “Yes, I have. I’m delighted with how the process worked out for me, and I’m very, very happy. I went into it [the show] pretty confident in myself and that I would make the right decision for me.”
PHEW!
