Last night fan fave Brooke walked out on Nick ‘Honey Badger’ Cummins, leaving our Bach rather upset.

Though it had been rumoured for some time, Brooke decided to eliminate herself from the competition after Nick couldn’t open up enough for her.

“This wasn’t part of my plan,” a heartbroken Nick told Brooke.

Punkee chatted to Brooke about her emotional departure and her feelings for Nick.

But first, we had to figure out that painting scene because we can be sure as hell those two didn’t paint THIS on each other:

“We did paint each other! We did as much as we could… but then we definitely had help,” Brooke told us.

OK, now that’s cleared up, let’s get to the nitty-gritty.

On leaving the show:

“I definitely made the decision in my head before the rose ceremony. I thought about it, I slept on it. I was set on it. But I was upset that he was upset. I haven’t talked to Nick since the show ended.”

On any regrets:

“Obviously watching last night was emotional and it was a good insight to him and how he may have really felt. It was emotional for me to watch back but I was happy as well. I needed to make that decision for myself and stick to it.”

On the outpouring of love from fans & being deemed a ‘role model’:

“I don’t see myself as a role model, I was just being true to who I am. I think every woman and every young girl should stick to what they believe in.”

On the whole Cass & Nick sitch:

“I assumed. I didn’t really care about their previous relationship I knew Cass had a connection with Nick, it was very obvious… so it didn’t really bother me at all.”

On the finale episode:

“It’s crazy how many rumours there are. I don’t know what will happen tonight, I’m dying to find out already! I’m excited to see it pan out and see if Nick really does find love.”

On whether she has found love again:

“No, those rumours were so funny, it was actually my friend. It was funny there were articles written about it. I can confirm I am single!”

And on doing The Bachelorette:

“Right now I’m still processing the whole Bachelor experience, I just need to take some time out for myself.”
