Earlier this week, gossip mags went into overdrive writing about The Bachelor bride Rachael, who they posited might be having a bit of a fling with a member of the show’s crew.

Now, with the release of a new promo at the end of last night’s ep, it looks like those juicy rumours are confirmed – and they’re going to be the source of next week’s Bachy drama.

In the ad, Mary tells Dr. Matt that “there’s one girl in the house and she’s actually interested in someone in the crew”.

So he decides he needs to have it out with Rachael: “Why stick around if you’re not interested?” his voiceover asks.

He interrupts one of her voxpops just as she’s explaining that she feels no guilt for sticking around over women who might have feelings for the Bachelor. It’s good as hell.

Talking to NW on Monday, a ~source~ said that Rachael was hitting on a producer.

“Rachael tried cracking onto the producer in front of the girls and a few other crew members,” the source said. “She had no shame, but for everyone else, it was really uncomfortable to watch.

“She was caught multiple times writing her number down on pieces of paper and had some of the girls in the house hand it to him.”

Then on Wednesday, another – or the same – ~source~ spoke to Daily Mail, claiming that Rachael had tried it on with more than one member of the production team.

“Rachael was into a cute producer named Tom, as well as one of the minders who was looking after everybody in the mansion,” the source said. “She flirted with both of them and gushed that either one of them would make a great plan B if things with Matt didn’t work out.

‘To be honest, she wasn’t the only one infatuated with the crew – most of the girls thought they were cute and would have a bit of a flirt when Matt wasn’t around.”

Here’s what the source says is set to go down on next week’s episodes:

“Mary got her hands on a love letter and was told that Rachael had secretly given it to the producer she was crushing on,” the source begins.

“Mary gave it to Matt to read for himself, and he was furious,” the source said. “He stormed over and confronted Rachael at the cocktail party and all hell broke loose.”

Finally, a piece of gossip that we get to see unfold in the mansion.

Can hardly wait.
