In the memo, which has various spelling errors, Radley writes: “Being both into Heath (sic) and fitness, we’re looking at getting some good management to help strengthen our brand.”

Referring to content they posted during a recent trip to Cairns, the pitch goes on to read: “Across both our pages combined we had close to 2milion (sic) visits over 7 days.”

“We are currently getting offers but are unsure how to handel (sic) them.”

The agent, who has requested to remain anonymous, was less than impressed with the lack of professionalism the email displayed.

“As a manager who has been in the game a long time, I was shocked at the poorly worded inquiry, which was riddled with spelling mistakes.”

The difficulty in finding representation must be a hard pill to swallow for the new lovebirds, given many of their Bachie predecessors including Tim Robards and Anna Heinrich, Sam Wood and Snezana Markoski, Georgia Love and Lee Elliott and Matty J and Laura Byrne have all gone on to capitalise on their stints.

Heinrich has fronted campaigns for Oral B, Pantene and Blistex while Love almost immediately bagged a major deal with skincare label Palmers.

Matty J has worked with brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Go Pro and The Body Shop.

Oetjen and Radley were contacted for comment; however no response was received.

Meanwhile Channel 10 said they no longer managed the couple’s media interests.
