Bachelor Jimmy Nicholson's hidden connection to contestant REVEALED

This was his worst fear. - by Catie Powers
  • 21 Jul 2021

Jimmy Nicholson is currently doing the media rounds ahead of tonight's Bachelor Australia season nine debut. And, much like we expect him to be on all those single dates, he's being very open when it comes to his interview answers.

WATCH: Jimmy Nicholson speaks about his dating history

Jimmy, 32, appeared on NOVA'S Fitzy & Wippa this morning to talk about his reality TV experience as well as his dating history.

After Fitzy mentioned that so often on these dating shows, some of the contestants know each other prior to going entering set, Jimmy confessed that this was one of his concerns as well.

And it seems like he had good reason to be worried.

"I was quite worried that I’d see someone I knew," Jimmy candidly told the radio hosts, before teasing that his fears may have eventuated.

"I can’t give too much away… but there might have been one."

Jimmy also revealed the one pre-requisite he gave before heading into the Bachelor mansion.

After explaining that he had to sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) prior to his reality TV stint, forbidding him from revealing all the inside bachie goss, Jimmy confessed that there was one person he insisted on telling about his upcoming journey.

"I said to Warner Brothers that I need to tell my ex because we’re on good terms and I think I would want to know if I was her," Jimmy explained, adding that it was a long-term relationship.

Earlier this month, Jimmy revealed to New Idea that he has been in two long-term relationships through his late teens and 20s but he needed to "go off and do (his) own thing".

“I didn’t want to get married and have kids, then look back and go, ‘S--t, I didn’t do all those things, like travel and go on the dating apps, that I think people in their 20s should do'," the 32-year-old explained.

But it looks like Jimmy is well and truly ready to settle down now, with the reality star revealing that he has found his co-pilot.

And we can't wait to watch it all unfold.
