Ciarran Stott proudly declared he had no interest in becoming a social media influencer on Tuesday’s episode of Bachelor In Paradise.
But a quick look at the 26-year-old’s Instagram page tells a very different story.
Since leaving the show in December last year, Ciarran has uploaded dozens of sponsored posts, many of which feature special discount codes for the brands being promoted.
