She’s tipped to be the last lady standing. But tonight, jewellery designer Laura Byrne dropped a bombshell that left The Bachelor Australia’s Matty J stunned.
The moment came after the pair, who are rumoured to have known each other prior to the show, enjoyed a fun and romantic single date.
It’s here that Matty caught Laura off-guard by bringing up the horrible portrait he drew of the brunette beauty during their first ever date together.
“I’ve since had lessons,” Matty said, before gifting Laura with a new and improved drawing.
“I am completely blown away,” Laura replied.
“This is amazing.”
Laura then continued to tell Matty exactly how she feels about him.
Matty J still regrets his portrait of Laura.
“I am utterly falling in love with you and it is truly the best feeling in the world,” she reveals, much to Matty’s surprise.
“I didn’t expect you to say that,” Matty J told the 31-year-old.
“I’m a little taken aback right now.”
Chatting to TV WEEK about being in the final three, Laura admits she found it tough seeing Matty J with the other girls.
“I could see very much his connection that he had with the other girls,” Laura says.
“That made me think, ‘Well, don’t get ahead of yourself because there is a very good chance it’s not going to be me.’ That is a constant thought.
“I absolutely adore Tara. She’s so funny, she literally just lights up a room, and every time I saw them together I could see the connection they had,” she continued.
“And Elise as well. She has so much in common [with Matty]; she’s a lovely person. They share so many similar things in what they want in life, but also their interests. I also just felt like they were spending a lot of time with him as well.”
