Angie sent the 25-year-old packing after a tense exchange with Jackson’s dad, who feared the reality TV star was taking her son for a ride.
“Angie’s been in a few reality TV shows, so I guess there’s a question in the back of your mind as to her intentions in the first place,” he explained to the camera before admitting he was worried his son would end up with a “freeloader” who would take him away from their booming family business, Garlo’s Pies.
However, it looks to be a bit of a case of pot calling kettle black, after Jackson reluctantly admitted at the last supper cocktail party that he had previously applied for Georgia Love’s season of The Bachelorette when he was just 22-years-old.
“The first time I had come off a relationship, I was on the heavy rebound and I thought if there’s any a place where you can really be vulnerable and expose yourself and your true character it was that process,” he told 10 Daily.
“I thought that there’s plenty of reality TV shows you can apply for which are just on there to gain followers, but I felt like — especially Angie, she was putting her heart on the line to find someone she could spend the rest of her life with and that was something that really appealed to me and the whole process.”
