Most awkward moments from 'The Bachelor'

SOCIAL media has ranted in a unified “WTF” after a slag from The Bachelor contestant Florence left viewers fuming.

On a group date, TV villain Jennifer was dressed as a lifesaver, much to the amusement of Matty J’s fellow love interests.

But as the women decided to let off a few fits of Mean Girl style giggles, the 27-year-old Dutch brand manager may have taken things a step too far.

“She looks like a Jewish banana,” Florence quipped and with those words, online went into meltdown.

Droves of viewers let fly on Twitter with one user saying: “what the actual f**k I can’t believe Flo called someone a “Jewish banana”.”

“She looks like a Jewish banana’ #BachelorAU when did using someone’s religion become an acceptable insult to broadcast on TV? Shocked,” another said.

The winner of last night’s photo shoot was promised a picture spread in a women’s magazine.

Laura-Ann, who was given little airtime, was eliminated from the show.

The Bachelor airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 7.30pm on Channel 10.
