‘If there is a stage past five he’s at it for the cling department,’ Hayden said of fellow contestant Jarrod Woodgate.
‘He’s just next level desperado. (Did you get the feeling that during the show that he was a bit desperate) Mate we all got a healthy dose of the Jarrod desperation.’
He admitted that he hadn’t immediately noticed Jarrod’s enthusiasm and said: ‘I didn’t notice it as quickly as Ryan’s jump in on Soph, that was literally 10 seconds into her walking into the backyard, that was the real fast part of it.

Detailing Sam’s sensitivity about his hair, he added: ‘He doesn’t like people touching his hair…Just quietly I think he was filthy about having to pull his hair out of the pony tail.’

Describing Stu as a ‘pretty good looking bloke’ he said he could see chemistry between him and Sophie.
‘They definitely seemed right for each other, similar age, similar stage in their lives I guess, Stu’s got a tonne of kids,’ he said.
Hayden also said he thought younger contestants, like handsome magician Apollo, didn’t stand a chance of winning.
‘Sophie can’t go with a really handsome young bachelor, because if she does I think that she risks that opinion that maybe she’s not there on the right reasons,’ he said.
‘She’s going to pick a guy that’s a sweetheart, he’s down to earth, he might be a little rough around the edges. Mind you Stu looks a little like Clarky from cricket, he scrubs up alright. The Apollo’s and all that out there, that guy is a straight up legend. He’s just a really great guy.’
