Photographic proof has surfaced of the final two Bachelor contestants – a week before the season finale is scheduled to air.
In pictures taken in June, Brittany Hockley was caught returning to Australia via Brisbane Airport after filming the finale in New Caledonia.
Several days earlier, fellow finalist Sophie Tieman was pictured in the French territory shortly before the last rose ceremony took place.
SPOILER ALERT: The Bachelor’s final two contestants revealed! Brittany Hockley and Sophie Tieman were busted travelling to and from the finale in June. Pictured left: Brittany at Brisbane Airport after filming the last episode in New Caledonia, and right: Sophie on the tarmac in New Caledonia several days earlier, before the last rose ceremony
Both contestants kept a low profile in hooded sweaters and caps as they tried to avoid being recognised.
Brittany wheeled a trolley with several large suitcases through Brisbane Airport after departing a flight from New Caledonia.
The 30-year-old radiographer, who hails from Port Macquarie, dressed casually in a grey hoodie, denim shorts and white sneakers.
She wore the hood over her head, perhaps in a bid to conceal her identity.

Daily Mail Australia confirmed earlier this month that Nick, a former Wallaby, is no longer dating the show’s winner.
‘The Honey Badger’s relationship is already over. This is obviously not what we wanted,’ a production source said.
It also emerged last week that Nick will be overseas when the finale airs, possibly in a bid to avoid public scrutiny over his break-up.
