FLIRTATIOUS fire-twirler Elora Tahiti made a teary exit from The Bachelor mansion last night — and there’s no love lost between her and ­favourite-to-win Laura Byrne.

The two women live within a block of each other in Rushcutters Bay but it’s unlikely they’ll be popping over to each other’s houses for cordial cups of tea.

Tahiti told News Corp’s Amelia Sawthat Byrne wasn’t as nice as she came across on TV and that, in the house, the two didn’t get on.

“Laura is very confident and she knows who she is, and sometimes she can be a bit degrading to other girls — like any confident woman,” Tahiti said.

“Elise (Stacy) was ­really having a hard time with Laura in group settings because Laura would just be really loud and talk over Elise, and I could see them trying to fight to get a line out,” she said.

Viewers picked Byrne as most likely to win Matthew “Matty J” Johnson’s heart after she scored the first kiss of the ­season.

The chemistry between the pair was just as obvious to the Byrne’s love rivals inside the house.

“I always had an idea from day one that Laura was going to be one of the top ones,” ­Tahiti said. “And then as we went through Elise came up as a dark horse.

“But even when it was 20 girls, I definitely had my eye on the top three. I never thought it would go another way.”

Tahiti revealed her one ­regret from the show was not forging better relationships with the women.

“I should have been a bit more myself with the girls so they could have seen me for who I am. And then we would have been closer than we are,” she said.

And as for Johnson, the man who left her “heartbroken” as she fled the mansion in floods of tears?

“I’m over Matty J. It’s been four months, you get over it,” she said, adding she had ­already dated and dumped someone else.
