This year on The Bachelor Australia 2017 , Leah’s ruffled feathers for all the wrong reasons and hasn’t been shy about saying what she really thinks of the other girls vying for Matty’s affection.

But there’s one subject Melbourne-based Leah refuses to elaborate on – her past wedding proposals.

“I’ve been proposed to by three guys,” Leah, 25, told Woman’s 
Day at a pre-show photoshoot. 


“I was 20, 21 and 22 years old 
at the time, and sort of accepted 
one of them.”

Since the show went to air last month, though, she’s refused to answer further questions about how the proposals went down, snapping, “Can we not talk about it?”

And according to a source close 
to the former topless waitress and new Bachelor villain, she’s not talking because she’s stretched the truth to appear more desirable.

“One of those engagements was with a pro surfer who she hoped would infuriate an ex, but it wasn’t 
a real relationship,” the source says.

Simone’s not buying it…

Fellow Bachelor contestant Simone, 26, who’s been on the receiving end of Leah’s wrath, was also shocked 
to hear the architecture student 
had received multiple proposals.

“It was never discussed in the house, not once, that’s crazy!” she says. “Leah is a great storyteller. 
She’s got a big mouth and I think 
she forgets sometimes what she’s saying and just talks.”
