He was branded the “trashiest contestant ever” on Ali Oetjen’s season of The Bachelorette in 2018, but it looks like Irish lad Paddy Collier from Geelong is out to set the record straight by gearing up to appear on the 2019 installment of Bachelor in Paradise.
Collier, who is a gym manager, controversially admitted to having a “male escort business” prior to his stint on the Network Ten favourite.
“I had to stop stripping, the brothel that I ran had to stop. I had so much to give up – that’s what I said to Ali: I gave up the brothel for this,” he told MSN.com at the time.
27-year-old fitness fanatic alienated his co-stars when he described Ali as “fit as f**k” and got into a physical altercation with builder Nathan Favro.
According to social media monitoring agency Meltwater, a staggering 81 percent of Paddy’s Twitter mentions were negative during his short stint on the show.

Only time will tell if the divisive hunk has found his match on in Fiji, although it’s not looking likely.
In November 2018, Daily Mail Australia reported Collier – along with Brooke Blurton, Cat Henesey and Davey Lloyd – had all left the island paradise early after failing to find love.
