Bachelor in Paradise: Ciarran’s ex unleashes on Cass during premiere

Ciarran Stott’s ex-girlfriend made a fiery Instagram appearance during the Bach in Paradise premiere, slamming her former friend Cass.

Bach star Ciarran Stott has made quite the early impact in Paradise – and not just after his nude entrance.

With two women vying for his attention on Channel 10’s Bachelor in Paradise, and an ex-girlfriend set to make a dramatic appearance, he’s front and centre in this year’s biggest scandals.

During last night’s premiere, the former Bachelorette star from Angie Kent’s season seemed set on pursuing Cassandra Mamone, who had established early on that she was a close friend of his ex-girlfriend Renee Barrett.

But the friendship didn’t seem to stop her from exploring a connection with the cheeky Brit, earning her the ire of her former friend and fellow contestant from Matt’s season Renee.

Renee attended a viewing party with fellow Bachelor star Sam Royce, unleashing fury as Ciarran and Cass’s flirt-fest aired on the program and calling Cass a “f***ing little b**ch.

When jewellery designer Cassandra appeared on screen during the dinner party, Renee exploded for a second time.

Proving there’s no love lost between the two women, a male friend could be heard in the background calling Cassandra a “liar”.

In Wednesday’s episode, Ciarran – no stranger to getting his kit off on national television – arrived at the Mango Bay Resort in Fiji completely naked, covering his modesty with a bunch of grapes.

The 26-year-old quickly found himself caught between Cassandra and Abbie Chatfield, the runner-up from last year’s season of The Bachelor.

But his history with Renee became a hot topic of conversation at the first dinner party, after he was forced to confess that he had cheated on her with another woman while attending a wedding.

After dropping the bombshell, he took a stroll with Cassandra, but they did not kiss, later making his way into Abbie’s room.

Over on Twitter, fans were quick to slam Cassandra, who was highly critical of Abbie throughout the episode despite making moves on her friend’s ex.

Cass judging Abbie for openly saying she’s interested in Ciarran makes her the villain, not Abbie. #BachelorInParadiseAU

Cass absolutely does not pass the vibe check and needs to leave the premises immediately #BachelorInParadiseAU pic.twitter.com/YVuxhcq5Ve

His connections with Abbie and Cassandra may be short-lived, however, with tonight’s promos teasing his interest when tattooed-bombshell Jessica Brody, also from Matt’s season, enters the resort.

Jessica, too, has her sights set on Ciarran – but with Renee set to storm in and drop truth bombs, it could all come undone for the popular star.

Bachelor in Paradise continues from 7.30pm tonight on Channel 10.
