Since then, the 23-year-old has addressed the scandal, telling TV Week that “all the girls” vying for Matt’s heart had “back up plans” and were attracted to somebody on set other than the astrophysicist

“Before we’d go to bed, all the girls in the house would joke that only one girl was going to end up with Matt,” she began.”The crew were good-looking, so everyone had their own guy they’d joke about and say, ‘This guy is hot,’ and, ‘This guy is mine when I leave the house.'”

“Rachael tried cracking onto the producer in front of the girls… She had no shame, but for everyone else, it was really uncomfortable to watch,” the source dished of her controversial actions. “She was caught multiple times writing her number down on pieces of paper and had some of the girls in the house hand it to him!” 

While the Network 10 employee— who was in a relationship at the time— shut Rachael down, she told TV Week that her eyes began to wander after she realised she had nothing in common with Matt. 

“All the girls in the house had made these great connections with Matt and had these big feelings for him,” she says. “But I thought, ‘I don’t feel this at all in any way shape or form.”

That’s not the only juicy Bachelor goss that’s made headlines in recent weeks! In news that will no doubt shock Bachie fans, it turns out frontrunner Elly Miles— who was gifted the golden ticket during the premiere— has a secret past with Matt. 

An on-set source recently told New Idea that the pair had not only crossed paths before filming, but they’d hooked up as well!

“Most of the girls knew Elly had history with Matt and it caused a lot of tension in the house,” the insider dished.

After the girls caught on, the source claimed they confronted the 24-year-old about her history with the astrophysicist, however, she was adamant the rumours weren’t true.

“They eventually confronted her about it, and she denied the rumours, but everyone knew it had happened and started to despise her for having an unfair advantage. The whole thing really upset her.” 

Last week, WHO also reported that Bachie insiders are already aware who’s been tipped to star in the upcoming season of Bachelor In Paradise.

An on-set source recently spilled to New Idea that the network has begun poaching contestants from Matt’s explosive season, revealing many of the ladies vying for his heart are eager to star in another Australian reality series.
