The Bachelorette's cash scandal REVEALED: Producers 'offered to pay contestants $100,000 to date Angie Kent for two years'... with a 'bonus payment for an on-camera proposal'

The Bachelorette has been hit with allegations of a payment scandal involving producers and the show's biggest stars.

On Monday, Woman's Day reported that the show's producers had told contestants they could score a $100,000 payday if their relationship with Angie Kent lasted for at least two years.  

According to the magazine, the suitors could earn even more if they agreed to propose to the former Gogglebox star in the finale.    

'They promised to pay $100,000 if the couple were together for two years and got engaged - and said they could earn even more if the proposal was on TV,' said a source.

The offer was reportedly made at the start of filming earlier this year, and served as 'extra motivation' for the men competing for Angie's heart.  

The scandal is the latest to hit the series, after it was revealed a number of Angie's suitors had worked in showbusiness prior to appearing on the dating show.  

As previously reported by Daily Mail Australia, front-runner Carlin Sterritt appeared in advertising campaigns and even films before applying for The Bachelorette.  

In recent years, he has starred in campaigns for menswear brand Tramps The Store and also appeared in short films like Red Zone, Divided and Graveyard Shift.

Furthermore, he has a lead role in the upcoming Australian drama, Out of the Woods.  

Woman’s Day is reporting that Bachelorette contestants were promised a whopping $100,000 if they won and stayed together with Angie Kent for at least two years.

Reasoning wise, if this is indeed true, I guess producers are  sick of these relationships fading out fast (Sophie Monk and Stu Laundy, we’re looking at you) and want something that at least looks legit.

I will be watching Angie and the eventual Bachelorette winner like a hawk — if they break up after two years and then he suddenly starts driving around a flash new car, I’ll be very suspicious.

Yeah pretty insulting to Angie if true but then again maybe they made her the same offer and she was fine with it.  If so, choosing an actor as F1 suddenly makes a lot more sense IMO.  

There have been rumours of relationship contracts for years and after Nick's season Lead contracts would be a lot more binding IMO.  Nothing would surprise me with this show any more TBH.
