And while their breakup seemed amicable enough, Ashley’s sister has blasted the reality star. Speaking to Fitzy and Wippa, Summer Irvin dished on what she really thinks of Troy.
'He thinks everyone loves him and that they should love him, that he’s the complete package,' she told the radio hosts. 'He’s so fake — he’s putting on an act.'
Summer didn’t hold back, revealing that she had a bad feeling about Troy from the start.
‘Within five minutes [of meeting him] I was like ‘No, no way’ ... Everyone thinks he’s this nice guy, but he’s not — he’s really not,’ she said.
‘He’s fooling everyone and I feel bad my sister got dragged along.’
What’s more Summer revealed the truth behind the rumours that Troy is a virgin as claimed by his sister.
'No he’s definitely not ... him and his sister haven’t spoken in about 10 years — they’re estranged,' she said.
Meanwhile, Troy has revealed that he thought of Ashley more like a sister.
‘I thought the final date may have been just what was needed,’ he told The Fix.
‘It went incredibly well, and at the end of the day I was very hopeful. But quite quickly the enjoyment of the day faded for Ash, and I realised this probably wouldn't ever work.’
‘The question box then reinforced my concerns, and I saw Ash as more of a sister that I cared for.’
And while he didn’t get the girl, Troy doesn’t regret his time on the show.
‘It was a bit sad that the experiment was over and I had not found true love, but you have to be true to yourself,’ he revealed.
‘At the same time, I was happy that I had participated and was eager to move forward with my life.’
