Reality star Georgia Love has had an awkward reunion with her former TV flame while reporting on the Melbourne Cup.
While interviewing stars as they arrived in the famous Birdcage at Flemington, Love came face to face with Matty J, whom she dumped on The Bachelorette, and his new fiancee, Laura.
Photographs of the encounter show Love and Matty J both looking decidedly uncomfortable.
But it’s not the first time the former small screen lovers have crossed paths recently.
At Derby Day on Saturday, Love interviewed the pair briefly in a marquee and the topic of their upcoming nuptials was raised.
Matty J revealed they’re considering making their engagement party a secret wedding, which Laura pointed out was no longer a secret thanks to his slip.
Earlier, Love shared the hilarious details of her less-than-desirable entrance to the Cup at the start of the day.
She was turned away from entering the gates at Flemington and was forced to find an alternative entry kilometres away.
Love, who is one of Studio 10’s Melbourne Cup correspondents, interviewing stars on the pink carpet with co-host Kerri-Anne Kennerley, explained the mix-up.
As they discussed that the most important of guests arrive in “a helicopter”, Love said her arrival had been anything but glamorous.
She turned up at the glam event in a taxi and was denied entry to the gates, having to run “about five Ks” to gain entry.
“I came in a taxi this morning, and wasn’t allowed through the gates … so I ran about five Ks,” Love said.
“This is why I am up and about early in the morning.”
Love still managed to lead the morning arrivals to the Cup, and looked not at all dishevelled. She turned heads at the Mumm marquee, wearing a bright metallic pink dress with a sexy thigh split. She carried a red YSL clutch.
Her ’80s inspired hot pink outfit is from fashion designer Jason Grech, which she wore with a jewelled headpiece from Lady of Leisure Millinery. The bright accessory features pink, gold and green gems that match her striking outfit.
She’s also wearing a pair of silver strappy heels by celebrity fashion stylist Lana Wilkinson, who recently launched her own footwear collection, inspired and named after her famous friends such as Bec Judd and former WAG Nadia Bartel.
