He’s the smooth-talking TV ‘villain’ who has billed himself as an ‘investor and entrepreneur’ on The Bachelorette.
And, just days after it was revealed Blake Colman, 29, is actually an air conditioning mechanic that lives with his parents, a source has exclusively told Daily Mail Australia he is still active on dating apps and he finishes fourth place on the show.
The insider also said that he is claiming he could be the next Bachelor.
‘He reckons he’ll be the next Bachelor, he’s delusional!’ The Bachelorette’s Blake Colman emerges on dating app Bumble as source reveals he places fourth on show
‘He reckons they [show producers] are setting him up to be the next Bachelor (who knows, he could be right, he could be delusional),’ they said.
The source also said that the raven-haired hunk claims he places fourth on the reality dating TV show.
‘Blake is a friend of a friend so I’ve known for a long time that he finishes fourth,’ they said.
Adding: ‘And to be honest, I wasn’t really surprised by it, he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed. I’d say most of Perth knows when he ends up leaving.’
Still dating? The source shared a screenshot of his Bumble profile with Daily Mail Australia and said they had seen him on the app ‘a few weeks back, before the show started’
Blake also appears to be active on dating apps.
The source shared a screenshot of his Bumble profile with Daily Mail Australia and said they had seen him on the app ‘a few weeks back, before the show started.’
They also added: ‘I think it is pretty interesting that you would go on a show like The Bachelorette and then keep your [dating] profile active.’
‘Why be on there? Pretty big spoiler right there. Probs an ego thing.’
Life is like a box of chocolates… Blake’s Bumble profile states that he lives in Sydney but a source says he is still residing in Perth
‘He has on his profile that he has just moved to Sydney but he’s been in Perth since the show aired. He lives with his mum.
‘He has a bit of a reputation as a dummy spitter when he doesn’t get his way with girls. He cracked the s**ts on a group trip earlier in the year because he hit on a girl and she turned him down.
‘Got in his car and took off back to Perth. Then didn’t speak to his mates for a few months,’ they added.
Man of many talents: According to Blake’s LinkedIn CV he was working as a fridge and air conditioning mechanic in January this year, around the time he would have been auditioning for The Bachelorette
On Thursday Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed that Blake worked as a fridge and air conditioning mechanic before appearing on the show and he currently still lives with his parents.
‘He isn’t an ‘entrepreneur’ – he is a refrigeration mechanic that lives with his parents,’ a well-placed source said.
According to his LinkedIn CV, Blake stopped working as a fridge and air conditioning mechanic in January this year, around the time he would have been auditioning for The Bachelorette.
The source also claimed that Blake applied for The Bachelorette in search of an acting career.
‘He thinks he’s destined for Hollywood… he’s not. Blake was trying to be the villain character so he could be remembered on The Bachelorette.
‘He wanted fame and thought Sophie was his ticket,’ they added.
