SEASON three of The Bachelor is a huge ratings success for Channel 10. But the man at the centre of it all says he’s ready for the show to finally be over.
With Wednesday night’s dramatic episode seeing two women Emily Simm and Bec Chin leave while two newcomers Lana Jeavon-Fellows and Rachel Moore arrived, ‘you could carve the tension with a knife’ in The Bachelor house at that point, says Wood.
And with rumours that he’s expecting a baby with the woman who receives his final rose, Wood said it’s proving harder than ever to wait for the show to end its on air run.
“I can’t wait for it to be finished,” he confessed.
“It’s not so much so that I’m able to talk about it, but so that I can be together with the girl that I end up with.”
And while he kept mum on who that girl may be, Wood did reveal the relationship is still going strong months after the show stopped filming. And now the happy duo are counting down the days until they can watch what he said is an ‘amazing finale’ together.
However they won’t be joined by a pitter patter of little feet when they do so.
“There’s no baby on the way,” he said. “Not that I’ve heard of anyway!”
Taking the opportunity to clear up some other rumours, Wood said that Emily Simm’s claim she would have received a rose had she not stormed off set was false as is the story he and Bec Chin were romantic prior to The Bachelor.
“I absolutely was not going to give Emily a rose and I think she knew and that’s why she left,” he said.
“And the story that (Bec and I) kissed is nonsense and categorically not true.”
While saying he is taking all the rumours with “ grain of salt”, one that Wood does find hard to swallow are the stories that frontrunner Heather Maltman only came on the show to seek fame.
“I think that’s grossly unfair to Heather ... she definitely wasn’t in it for the fame,” he said.
While adding that Maltman was sceptical going into The Bachelor, Wood shared that their meeting on the first night was “a mutual light bulb moment” for the pair.
“We were both like, ‘I can’t believe I’m getting along with someone so quickly and easily,” he said.
