& Keira E’RE E!’

BACHELOR IN PARADISE K EIRA & RITCHIE

‘She’s been a little more guarded about her feelings, but is constantly by his side and smiles at everything he says. It’s looking to be one of the great Bachelor romances.’

But it seems Jarrod and Keira aren’t the only ones who’ve found love on the new show, according to our on-set spy.

Lisa Hyde – who was passed over for Sam Frost by Bachelor love rat Blake Garvey in season two – and Bachelorette favourite Luke Mcleod have been inseparable since meeting at the luxury Mango Bay resort, with our insider revealing it was ‘love at first sight’.

‘They get on so well and their chemistry is off the charts, everyone can see it,’ says our spy.

Adding to the list of hot hook-ups, Michael Turnbull – who narrowly missed out on winning Sam Frost’s heart – and last season’s Tara Pavlovic were also spotted sharing some romantic dates and steamy kisses. The cocky former football player and Queensland nanny may have been an unlikely pairing with vastly different personalities, but it seems opposites really do attract.

We can even reveal the pair are planning to make their relationship official once they leave the tropical island.

‘Everyone loves Tara because she is down-to-earth and really funny,’ says the spy. ‘But Michael wasn’t nearly as popular and fans saw him as a bit of a show-off. On paper they are not a great match, but they are actually pretty good for each other and somehow it works.’

But it’s not all smooth sailing in the love stakes, our spy reveals. In true reality-tv style, there is trouble in paradise for marketing manager Jake Ellis after he shocked fellow cast mates with the ultimate betrayal.

‘Jake and Florence grew close pretty early on,’ says the spy. ‘They seemed to be getting on really well and even though they were not as hot and heavy as some of the other contestants, they made a promise to give each other a rose so they could spend more time getting to know each other.’

However, when controversial contestant Megan Marx turned up unexpectedly, everything changed – leaving Florence completely heartbroken.

‘Jake always fancied Megan and when she arrived he really turned up the charm, leaving Flo devastated,’ says the spy. ‘It was like she was invisible once Megan arrived.’

So furious was the blonde beauty, Florence waited until the crews clocked off before confronting Jake on his behaviour.

‘They had a blazing row,’ says the spy. ‘She may look like butter wouldn’t melt, but any bloke should think twice about messing her around. She really gave him a piece of her mind and he looked pretty shaken after.’

Ouch!
