Channel 10 will not be allowing fans of The Bachelors to bully or troll contestants on their official Instagram page.
As the new season kicked off on Sunday, the network shared a post to Instagram that warned anyone seeking to be cruel would be ousted.
The post read: ‘Dear gentle viewers, please join us for our most romantic season ever, as we journey through a trilogy of courtship and love.
‘We encourage you to indulge yourselves in the revelry and share your thoughts and joy in the comment sections… but be warned, we uphold a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of negativity and abusive conduct’ they went on.
‘Our social pages, akin to a regal ball, are meticulously overseen. Comments that tarnish the honour of our distinguished Bachelors and ladies will be swiftly removed.

‘Now, with these formalities out of the way, please sit back and enjoy the new season of The Bachelors.’
The Bachelors this season are Luke Bateman, Wesley Senna Cortes and Ben Waddel.
Despite shocking ratings for its last season, which featured three bachelors instead of one, Channel 10 has decided to make another attempt to revive the flagging franchise.
‘Channel 10 is over the moon with the streaming numbers and the fresh direction the show has taken,’ a source told Daily Mail Australia.

The dating show, known for its cringeworthy moments and rose ceremonies, has managed to survive thanks to its video on demand (VOD) audience, the insider said.
‘They’re incredibly excited to bring it back for another season, proving love conquers all – even low ratings!’
‘It’s not just about how many people tune into TV anymore, and shows like Love Island Australia are a great example of that,’ they explained.
‘The Bachelor has been doing surprisingly well on demand, and that’s what really counts in 2023.’
