Fans speculate Matty J ends up with Laura over similar snow photos

THEY’RE the photos that appear to give away a big clue on who wins The Bachelor. But there is just one problem.

THEY are the photos that sparked a huge fan theory that Matty J and one of his Bachelorettes had accidently revealed who had won the show — but there’s a big problem with them.

Earlier this week, Matty J took to Instagram to post photos of himself carving up the slopes at Perisher, a ski field located in the south of New South Wales.

The same day, Bachelor hopeful Laura posted photos of herself enjoying the ample snow at The Remarkables — New Zealand’s most popular ski field.

Can you see the problem?

While plenty of fans thought the two reality stars tagged themselves in different countries and locations to “throw people off the scent”, the geography of both spots begs to differ.

In Matty J’s photos and video, there’s plenty of Australian gum trees in the background.

Laura’s photos undoubtably picture her and her sister at the mountain-rimmed Lake Wakatipu, the lake right near the New Zealand city of Queenstown.

“Oh my god, Matty was there at the same time! You won batchie [sic],” one wrote while another simply claimed the pair were “busted”.

While the pair clearly share the same hobbies, the photos definitely prove they were practising their snowboarding skills in different countries.

A spokeswoman for The Bachelor confirmed this fact, telling news.com.au they were definitely in different countries.

Plenty of punters think Laura has an edge due to her similarities with former Bachelorette Georgia Love.

But despite the pair having to spend time apart until the show has finished airing, there’s no denying Matty J and Laura were taken with each other from their first meeting.

“Laura has definitely caught my eye,” Matty said in a piece to camera in the first episode.

“I’m really attracted to someone who’s ambitious and someone who’s really passionate about what they do,” he added.

And Laura, a 30-year-old jewellery designer from Sydney seemed equally impressed with The Bachelor.

“My first impressions is that he’s incredibly handsome, he’s very warm and very kind and very calming, and that was a really nice presence to be around,” she said.

While The Bachelor has been on our screens for barely a week, there’s always a frenzy around trying to find out who the winner is before the show finishes airing.

In June, the top secret finale of the Channel Ten dating show was in danger of being ruined after numerous paparazzi followed the show to its final destination and took photos and video of the final two girls with Matty J.

It’s believed the finale of the popular series was filmed in May on the islands in the Gulf of Thailand.

While the package of information spoiling the ending was never released, Network Ten called the attempts to ruin the show a “shame”.

“Media interest in The Bachelor Australia increases every year, which is testament to the enduring popularity of the show,” a spokesman told news.com.au. “While we cannot comment on speculative information that paparazzi might be trying to sell, it is a shame that their aim each season is to spoil the experience for viewers.”
