While most of the bachelorettes from Matt Agnew’s season of The Bachelor have quickly faded into obscurity, there have been a few winners so far that have not wasted any time on cashing in on their new following.
Winner Chelsie McLeod gained the most followers from the start to finish of the season, racking up 206,000 followers — a huge increase on her initial 850 followers.
The next biggest jump was country sweetheart Elly Miles, who jumped from about 2500 followers to a whopping 112,000.
She has not sold her soul for freebies, only spruiking clothing companies here and there.
Controversial runner-up Abbie Chatfield, who said she did not care about followers during the show, has seen an increase of 86,500 followers, taking her to 90,200.
She has been spruiking venues, hair and beauty products.
