Last night, The Bachelor threw us some serious curveballs, the biggest was that one of this year’s favourites to win the series, Megan Marx dumped Richie after receiving her rose.

Megan told Richie, “From the moment I met you, I felt like you’re someone I could fall in love with but I just can’t fall in love with such competition and intensity.”

He responded, “This is the most intense experience you could ever possibly imagine and I was hoping you could be patient with this whole process.”

All was well in Bachie paradise, until Megan blurted out to OK! Magazine that this year’s sweetheart Alex Nation was behind her decision to leave the house!

“I would say she [Alex] was a little bit behind it. I didn’t tell the producers, I didn’t tell any of the girls, the only person I told was Alex. I just wanted to keep it to myself because I didn’t want there to be any pressure.”

She added Alex was ‘very supportive’ of her decision and ‘didn’t try and convince me to stay’.

She finished the interview by laughing, “Good move, Alex, good move,” she laughed, adding: “But I think Alex also knew that I was pretty sure that it was what I wanted to do.”
