It has been revealed that The Bachelor Nick ‘Honey Badger’ Cummins is related to former Biggest Loser star Margie – who won the series in 2012 after losing almost half her body weight.
And his proud aunt, 40, has been vocal on social media about the potential beauties vying for her nephew’s attention on national TV.
Margie, who is the sister of Nick’s infamous ‘uncle Mike’, said she wanted to have a stern talk to ‘villain’ Cat, felt sorry for Cass and appeared to favour two of the stunners.
