This is one of the most dangerous shows because it ruins lives,’ 35-year-old US Bachelorette alum Jesse Csincsak tells OK! – and he places the blame directly on producers. ‘There is a fine line, and producers cross it daily.’

Jesse alleges the show staffers ‘basically fill all the contestants up with as much alcohol as possible and get them to misbehave for the camera. I have seen my friends on the show doing things they would never do… People are so embarrassed by their own drunken behaviour that they can’t cope with it and can’t go back to their life when the show ends.’

Producers are always pulling the strings to incite drama, he claims. ‘When you watch the show, you will often see waitresses and waiters in the background. They are actually producers dressed in costume. To make things happen, they often place a little piece of paper in front of the contestants that say things like “kiss her now” or “reach out and touch her hair,”’ Jesse explains to OK!.

It’s not uncommon, he adds, for a producer to yell ‘cut’ and pull a contestant aside and tell them to start hooking up or talk about sex. ‘It’s nonstop pressure from producers.’
