Ms Kent decided to have her brother Brad Kent go undercover on the show so he could give her “insight”.
Mr Whyatt was one of his picks as favourite.
“It could go two ways. You could choose someone you really like already and spend that time to get to know them. Or, pick someone on the cusp that you’re not sure of,” Mr Kent said to his sister during the episode.
“I would go Matt ... I think he’s super genuine (and) hasn’t spoken about anything other than wanting to spend time with you.”
