EXCLUSIVE: The Bachelor's Areeba hits back!

"Drinking doesn’t help with the catfights!" - by New Idea
  • 24 Aug 2020

As the infamous cocktail parties continue to roll out on screen, this season’s villain Areeba claims the free-flowing alcohol is to blame for all the tension and ‘catfights’ in The Bachelor mansion.

WATCH: Areeba interrupts Zoe-Clare with Bachelor Locky

Speaking to New Idea, the opinionated beauty is the first to admit the champagne and wine provided on set certainly adds to the drama.

“It’s crazy in the house – it’s hard to explain to someone who isn’t there the emotions and what we all went through. But, drinking doesn’t help with the catfights,” Areeba explains.

"Drinking doesn’t help with the catfights,” Areeba blames alcohol for heightened emotions in The Bachelor mansion.

Network Ten

She adds, “A lot of people get hyped up and get emotional, so it makes it worse.”

Areeba and Zoe-Clare went head-to-head in a war of words during the first cocktail party after the brunette beauty interrupted Zoe-Clare during her first-ever one-on-one time with Locky.

Zoe-Clare was upset after Areeba interrupted her during a one-on-one chat with Locky Gilbert.

But headstrong Areeba confesses she was not apologetic for boldly trying to score more alone time with the Bachelor.

“To me, I didn’t think I would upset Zoe-Clare that much, but I didn’t apologise for it – it was what it was. Everybody interrupts everyone! Just calm down,” she says.

The women are battling it out to win the affection of Locky Gilbert (pictured).

Areeba also claims she didn’t need the champagne to find the courage to be a ‘boss’ and do what she wanted!

“I’m confident, so I don’t need a drink to interrupt,” she adds. “But a drink does help and it hypes you up a bit. But I don’t need liquid courage to interrupt. If I want to, I’m going to, regardless of having a drink or not!”
