Aussie Nichole Wood has already proven that she isn’t a stickler for the rules on this season of The Bachelor.
Now it seems the Gold Coast beauty is rebelling against Network Ten off-camera as well and is failing to maintain the low profile required of The Bachelor contestants.
On Sunday night, the 25-year-old bombshell partied with none other than Dan Webb from Married At First Sight at a bar on the Gold Coast.
The pair looked very cosy in the photos Dan shared on social media with his 113, 000 followers, leaving fans of The Bachelor wondering if Matt Agnew will give Nichole the flick.

The former blonde was instantly recognisable in Dan’s Instagram story, despite recently dyeing her hair brown.
In one video, the Australian reality tv stars cheekily clinked their glasses together and appeared to be aware they were baiting The Bachelor and Married At First Sight fans.
However, a source close to Dan told the Daily Mail that “they’ve actually been friends for years.”
Despite their 10-year age gap, the insider says the Queensland natives are known to move in similar circles and believes they have mutual friends in both Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
In another twist, the reality contestants share another close connection – one that may be the reason Nichole explodes in the next episode of The Bachelor.
The 25-year-old has a so-called ‘doppelganger’ and a burgeoning enemy in fellow contestant Monique Morley, who just so happens to be a close friend of Dan’s ex-girlfriend, Jessika Power.
Like the MAFS-star, Monique is from Perth and shares mutual friends with Jessika Power.
Interestingly enough, the 26-year-old is also the ex-girlfriend of Jessika’s brother, Rhyce Power.
With all these uncomfortably close connections, it’s no surprise that tension is building on The Bachelor.
In a trailer for the next episode of Channel 10’s popular tv show, Nichole appears to storm off set after reaching boiling point.
When Monique pulls Bachelor Matt Agnew to the side for a very flirty chat, a jealous Nichole is left fuming.
“Way to p**s Nichole off,” Nichole – who greeted The Bachelor for the first time on a motorbike – said as she watched, talking about herself in the third person.
Throughout the second episode, Nichole appeared to be threatened by the lingerie designer and compared their looks when watching Monique speak to Matt for the first time.
In the trailer for this week’s Bachelor, Nichole can be heard telling fellow contestant Rachael Arahill, that Monique “thinks she’s better than us.”
“I’m f***ing over it,” the Gold Coast cafe manager snapped as she stormed off, “I’m f***ing done with it!”
The next episode will reveal whether or not the feisty beauty stays, however, her recent pictures with the MAFS’ star seem to hint that another Aussie hunk has captured her interest.
