Cass, who has been tipped to make the final four previously told Who magazine that her ‘ideal man is sporty’, but she remained tight-lipped on whether or not she is now in a relationship with Nick.

On Sunday, Cassandra celebrated her 24th birthday at the rugby union match in Sydney’s Pittwater.

While season six of The Bachelor is just two episodes in, Cassandra has become one of the most talked about contestants on the show so far.

She’s admitted to previously going on a few dates with The Honey Badger and wasn’t shy in expressing her desire to rekindle their romance.

Cassandra’s keen interest and admission that she had written Nick’s name in her ‘dream diary’ led fans to dub her this year’s token ‘stage five clinger’.

Nick admitted he previously dated contestant Cassandra during last week’s premiere episode.

The new Bachelor confessed he enjoyed ‘a couple of dates’ with the Home And Away star before entering the mansion following claims the ex-Wallabies star struck up a romance with Cassandra before the show.

‘We know each other pretty well. We had a couple of dates and things!’ the 30-year-old said as soon as he cast his eyes on the blonde actress and model.

The reality TV funnyman also revealed the reason his romance with Cassandra fizzled out.

‘Timing wasn’t right because she was doing her thing, I was doing my thing, so…it was a hell of a surprise, you know, to see her,’ he said.
