‘She [Cass] had always maintained she hadn’t dated Nick, and while there was chitter-chatter as to whether she had or she had not, I always stood by her,’ she said.

During tense scenes, Cass reveals that she and the Honey Badger were in fact very close, and Brittany becomes upset the past relationship has given her competition an unfair advantage.

According to reports, the girls even start to believe that Cass is a ‘plant’ by producers, believing it was their plan for the blonde beauty and Nick to end up together all along.

Meanwhile, Manly-based accounting student Cass says she feels ‘guilty’ not disclosing her past relationship with Nick.

‘The hardest thing for me was hiding it from the girls. I hate lying, but I wasn’t given a rule book on how to handle it and I freaked out hard,’ she told TV Week.  

She said she was trying to be altruistic in not letting the other contestants be put off by the close bond she once shared with the ex-Wallabies star.
