There’s a lot going on behind the scenes in The Bachelorette mansion that we’re not seeing on our screens.

ANGIE’S DIVA DEMANDS
She’s already won the hearts of viewers and calls herself “the most down-to-earth Bachelorette ever”, but during filming Angie Kent was accused of flexing her star muscles.
According to one contestant, the 29-year-old self-confessed “bogan” caused a headache for the production crew during filming, after providing them with a huge list of demands.
“Most of Angie’s backstage requests were centred around the way she looked and she often stopped filming to get a primp and a preen from hair and makeup,” the contestant explains.
It seems that Angie’s shocking behaviour went hand in hand with “extreme mood swings”, and when things weren’t up to scratch, she would break down on set.
“She had bad anxiety and was having panic attacks and throwing non-stop tantrums,” they revealed. “Filming was constantly being interrupted.”
Angie’s antics apparently became so bad it led one contestant to expose what
the boys really thought about theBachelorette.
“Some boys were honestly here for love so you have to look at yourself as well and ask, ‘Do
I want a strong girl, someone easygoing or someone who is going to chuck tantrums over things?’” he said.
Meanwhile ex NRL player and TV host Beau Ryan has accused his former friend Angie of blanking him when their paths crossed recently.
“I’ve come out and I’ve literally said, ‘Hey, Ange!’, and raised up my hand above my face for a wave.
“As she’s walking past, she locks eyes with me for at least two seconds, maybe
three seconds, and then straightens her head and walks away,” he told The Kyle and JackieO Show.
Has the attention and fame already gone to Angie’s head?
FAME HUNGRY JACKSON
Viewers have tipped him as one of Angie’s perfect suitors, but it seems Jackson Garlick could be more interested in chasing fame than finding true love.
A show insider reveals the 25-year-old sales executive and footy player has a bit of a reputation in his hometown circles.
“He’s a massive player around the eastern suburbs of Sydney and he is definitely not on the show for the right reasons,” claims a source.
Jackson snagged a one-on-one date with Angie but their romantic escapade turned to disaster when the former Gogglebox star got motion sickness during their helicopter ride.
While Jackson’s caring and sweet response to Angie’s plight earned him a kiss, and later, a rose, the insider reveals the blue-eyed suitor might not be as genuine as he appears.
“The girls he hangs around with are nothing like Angie. She’s not his type and everyone who knows him knows that he is on the show simply for his profile. He’s desperate to be a famous influencer,” said the source.
“Jackson’s a classic playboy footy player. Everyone was shocked to see him on the show as he’s not ready to settle down! Especially with an older woman. He loves playing the field in both ways.”
MANSION IN CRISIS
Too much booze, too little food and some stinky habits – life in the Bachelorette house isn’t as glamorous as it appears on screen.
“Everyone was starving as there was a major food shortage,” said the source. “They were given bulk groceries and had to cook for themselves. But the food rations didn’t last long.”
The guys found it hard to live with each other’s bad habits.
“All the boys complained about Timm being the messiest in the house. He never cleaned up after himself,” said the insider. “All the boys would openly fart everywhere and it made the house reek.”
Meanwhile, the contestants managed to get around the two–drink limit per hour rule.
“Sometimes they would have up to 20 drinks a night. One night, Adam went MIA. He got so drunk he had passed out on the lounge. He was left there to sleep it off and then got woken up in time for the rose ceremony.”
