The Bachelor‘s Bec Cvilikas has poured cold water on rumours that finalist Bella Varelis had a ‘secret deal’ with Warner Bros. guaranteeing her a spot in the top two.
The 25-year-old beauty consultant, who was sent home during hometown week, told The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Thursday there was no truth to rumours her friend had any sort of agreement with the producers.
She set the record straight after radio host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson asked her directly about the reports.

‘The other was rumour was that Bella had in her contract that she would make the final two because she already had work that she could have said yes to,’ Jackie said.
‘B.S.,’ Bec replied firmly. ‘Tell me you guys don’t believe this? We all have the same contract. There’s no special [clauses].’
Bec can be considered a fairly reliable source of information when it comes to Bella: not only are they best pals, they also live together in Sydney.
Jackie’s co-host Kyle Sandilands made it clear he had never believed the rumours, which were first reported by Woman’s Day early last month.

He said the idea that an unknown model/actress like Bella could have any say in the outcome of a major TV show like The Bachelor was ‘rubbish’.
According to the August 10 issue of Woman’s Day, there was ‘chatter’ among the cast of that Bella had been discreetly ‘promised’ a spot in the top two.
The magazine’s source also alleged that Bella was a ‘producer’s pet’ who played up her emotions and delivered for the cameras.
