Sasha's Dates With Sophie

Uh-oh, did someone just turn the awkwardness factor up to 11?

She’s got a new love, a new acting career and a new lease on life. But Sam Frost’s ghosts of boyfriends past are coming back to haunt her amid rumours her ex Sasha Mielczarek is returning to The Bachelorette – this time as an intruder on Sophie Monk’s season. Say whaaat?!

While Channel Ten won’t confirm or deny the hotties vying for Soph’s heart – only saying that the network “looks forward to revealing the contestants later this year” – rumour has it producers were keen to bring back an old face.

And Sasha – who split with Sam in late December, just 18 months after nabbing her final rose on the first season of The Bachelorette – jumped at the chance to give it another crack.

“He loves the limelight,” claims a source close to the hunky construction manager. “It wouldn’t take much arm twisting to get him back on the show. And he seems to be Sophie’s type... a rugged tradie bloke. I reckon they’ll hit it off .”
