Bachelorette winner Frazer Neate returns to work as a tradie

Bachelorette winner Frazer Neate risks an injury as he returns to work on a construction site in flip-flops amid increasing speculation he and Elly Miles have split

Rumours that Frazer Neate and Elly Miles have split have been swirling all week.

And it seems Bachelorette winner Frazer is trying to avoid the drama by keeping his head down and returning to work.

On Wednesday, the 28-year-old tradie was spotted on a building site in Brisbane.

Back to the grind: Bachelorette winner Frazer Neate risked injuring his feet in a pair of flip-flops as he returned to work on a building side in Brisbane on Wednesday 

He wore a hat and his tool belt, but instead of completing his work uniform with sturdy boots, he wore flip-flops instead – putting himself at risk of an injury.

Despite the inappropriate footwear, Frazer appeared focused on the task at hand as he tried to put his big reality TV win behind him and return to normal.

At one point he was seen carrying a screed – a long tool that that is used to smooth and level wet cement after it is poured – on the building site.

Frazer was then seen returning to the site with a coffee in hand.    

He seemed to be ready to get back to work as he carried a shovel and a float – another surface leveling tool for concreters – in his other hand.

Frazer’s return to work comes as rumours he and girlfriend Elly Mile have split, a week after the Bachelorette final.

According to claims recently made on the So Dramatic podcast, the tradie has allegedly told his mates that he’s single.

A source told the podcast in an episode last week: ‘My boyfriend is on Frazer’s AFL team and he said that Frazer told the boys him and Elly had already broken up. They’ve stayed mates.’

Elsewhere in the episode, the host said that another source claimed that Frazer has been ‘telling everyone that he is single’.

The insider claimed: ‘Turns out he wasn’t just hitting the town claiming to be single, he actually told everyone that him and Elly had broken up.

The source said that the pair, ‘are just keeping up appearances… since filming wrapped.’

‘I know a few people that Frazer’s hooked up with after filming wrapped,’ the source reportedly added.

Daily Mail Australia contacted both Elly and Frazer for comment at the time. 

From the outside, Elly’s romance with winning suitor Frazer appears to be going full steam ahead following the season finale last week.

She told him: ‘When I’m with you, I feel like I’m right where I’m meant to be, and standing here with you right now is where I want to stay. I’m crazy about you, Frazer.’

Frazer said he was ready to find his ‘life partner’, and he was convinced that person was Elly, but he was still unable to tell her he loved her.
