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.
So far this season's villain Nichole Wood, Renee Barrett, Rachael Arahill, Jessica Brody, Emma Roche and Helena Sauzier have all been approached for the spin-off, which will commence filming later this year.
Last season’s favourites Paddy Collier, Bill Goldsmith— who was recently snapped partying with this year's Bachie star Jessica— and Brittney Weldon have also reportedly already signed on the dotted line for the next season.
