Despite being one of Bachelor Matt Agnew’s top 11 contenders, personal trainer Rachael Arahill says she was already planning on quitting the mansion before the astrophysicist asked her to leave.

“We had zero chemistry,” the plain-talking blonde admits.

“I barely got to know him and I never really felt anything for him at all.”

Now, the 23-year-old gets candid about her time on the show, and opens up about her relationship with Vakoo after that steamy kiss made headlines this week…

OK!: Since you didn’t click with the Bachie, is that why you fell for a crew member?

Rachael: Yes, but I wasn’t the only girl who had a plan B!

I was the only one who had another girl wing-manning me, though, by passing on my number [to the crew member] and that’s how I got caught out.

I don’t know who did it because I only found out recently that my number got to him – and I’ve since found out he had a girlfriend anyway so, whatever!

Rachael says she had wanted to leave before Matt had even asked her to!

OK!: Did you want to leave earlier?

Rachael: I’d made up my mind a week before but I was nervous about telling Matt, because it’s not like real-life where I could’ve just ghosted him.

I had to tell him to his face, then Matt beat me to it!

OK!: It seems like you’ve made a special connection with Vakoo since?

Rachael: She’s great. We’ve got the same sense of humour and the same values and morals in life. We’ve become really close.

OK!: Are you two dating?

Rachael: We’re just keeping it casual for now, but I don’t know exactly what label you’d put on it.

It’s been great to meet someone on the show I’ve connected with – it just wasn’t Matt!

Bachelorette chat!

Rachael says that despite her ‘connection’ with Vakoo, she thinks the model would also make a ‘perfect’ Bachelorette.

“I can see her doing it,” she says.

We would love to see this happen!
