Evicted Bachelorette contestant Paddy confirms major spoiler

THE latest man sent packing from The Bachelorette has confirmed a major spoiler - and it’s kind of ruined the finale.

THE latest Bachelorette contestant to be evicted from the show has confirmed a major spoiler: frontrunner Charlie Newling is definitely dating someone who’s not Ali Oetjen.

In an interview on Nova’s Fitzy and Wippa show this morning, Paddy Colliar - who was sent home by Ali last night - was confronted by the persistant rumour that Charlie has been getting cosy with former Bachelor contestant Dasha Gaivoronski.

“I’m really close with Charlie, we talk every day. It is what it is,” Paddy told the radio hosts.

“It’s obviously their life, it was a bit of a spoiler, but they look good together. I Facetimed them the other day.”

He also opened up about how the romance began, claiming they “hit each other up” on Instagram, and that Charlie had messaged Dasha first.

It comes after the 31-year-old was spotted on several occasions getting cosy with Dasha.

Earlier this week, the reality TV stars all but confirmed they were in a relationship in a cheeky Instagram exchange.

During a question-and-answer session on her Instagram story, Charlie (whose identity Dasha had barely tried to hide) asked about the “hot amazing guy” that she was dating.

“He is alright, isn’t he?” Dasha wrote back. “We’re the besties of all times and understand each other like no on else. That’s so rare these days.”

Dasha appeared on Nick Cummins’ season and after leaving the show accused the Honey Badger of not being interested in a relationship — foreshadowing his decision to walk away solo in the finale.

Meanwhile Charlie has been likened to “stage five clinger” Jarrod Woodgate — who was runner-up in Sophie Monk’s season of The Bachelorette — and has been one of the more competitive contestants this year.

Previous contestants have confirmed that their reality TV contract prevents them from openly dating anyone while the show airs, meaning Charlie is probably in some serious trouble with Channel 10 right now.

Former Bachelor contestant Faith Williams met her now boyfriend Jeremy Hassell two months after leaving the show in 2016, but had to keep it a secret.

“They said ‘you’re not allowed to date anyone in that time’ so we weren’t able to do anything ­together,” she told News Corp in 2017.

“Around that time I also had paps following me. We had to be careful not to look like we were dating.”
