Though the Aussie version of Bachelor in Paradise is well received – it’s spawned from the hugely successful American OG version, Bachelor in Paradise.
Now, two of our home-grown own will be crossing the seas to star on the American Bachelor spin-off show. Gossip monger – and Bachelor sleuth – Reality Steve has reported that Florence Alexandra Moerenhout and Adam Todd will be appearing as intruders.

Firecracker Florence appeared on Matty J’s season of The Bachelor back in 2017 and went on to star on two seasons of Australia Bachelor in Paradise.
Adam was the softly spoken – yet insanely ripped – geologist that competed on Elly and Becky Mile’s season of The Bachelorette back in 2020.

Reality Steve, who has a huge reputation for uncovering spoilers for The Bachelor shows and its related franchises, has reported that Florence and Adam will be entering separate villas in an attempt to break up the couples who have already formed on the beach.
It’s been reported that this year’s Bachelor In Paradise will take a page out of Love Island’s book and have a similar style ‘Casa Amor’ entrance with extra contestants. In Love Island, the current men and women are split up from each other mid-way through the season, and one of the groups is taken to a different villa to stay for a few days. Once separated, a group of five intruders of the opposite sex and sent into the respective villas. After a couple of days, the original contestants can choose whether they want to ‘recouple’ with an intruder, or stay with their previous partner
Going by this format, Florence and Adam will be part of the new intruders that are set in to wreak havoc.
