Bachelor star Zoe-Clare McDonald was absent from the first rose ceremony during the show’s premiere on Wednesday.
And now former star Vakoo Kauapirura has revealed the real reason she was unable to attend, with her speculating Zoe-Clare was drunk.

She continued: ‘I could tell she was way too drunk.’
Vakoo then revealed she was previously at a cocktail party during her season last year, where she vomited because she was so drunk and had to miss the rose ceremony.
‘One time at the cocktail parties I drank so much that I actually threw up. Like when we were doing the rose ceremony, I ran outside I was going to pass out,’ she said.

Vakoo then revealed the embarrassing moment she realised Matt was the person holding her wig while she was sick.
‘I was wearing my wig and then someone was holding my wig back. And I was like ”don’t tell Matt I’m throwing up”. And it was Matt holding my hair back.’
Vakoo’s comment echoed viewers sentiment, many of whom flooded to Twitter to accuse Zoe of being ‘too drunk’ to attend the inaugural rose ceremony.
Oh my: ‘One time at the cocktail parties I drank so much that I actually threw up. Like when we were doing the rose ceremony, I ran outside I was going to pass out,’ Vakoo said
‘Zoe-Clare got too p***ed to stand straight in the rose ceremony,’ one fan tweeted.
Another added: ‘Zoe has her head in the toilet so she can’t attend the rose ceremony.’
A third viewer joked that she’d skipped the eviction to ‘get a bottle of dye from Priceline’.
She had a meltdown over her hair colour earlier in the episode.

Meltdown: ‘To me, it’s disrespectful. If she wants to act the child, that’s fine,’ she tearfully said during an altercation with co-star, Areeba Emmanuel during the episode
During Wednesday’s premiere, Zoe-Clare went into a rage after Areeba Emmanuel, 25, interrupted her discussion with Locky Gilbert.
‘To me, it’s disrespectful. If she wants to act the child, that’s fine,’ she told producers.
For no apparent reason, she came to the conclusion that the other women didn’t like her because of her hair colour.
