In the heart-wrenching Bachelor finale on Thursday night, former Hockeyroo Elise Stacy was left devastated after being given the flick by Matty ‘J’ Johnson.
But on Friday, the blonde bombshell revealed she was well and truly over the hunky heartbreaker.
Appearing in an interview with Studio 10 with fellow rejects Tara Pavlovic and Florence Alexandra Sophia on Friday, Elise claimed she had moved on from the public dumping, which she likened to a ‘car accident’.

‘I am not in love with him any more,’ Elise told the Channel Ten show, before confirming she is still single.
‘I haven’t moved on yet with anyone else. You have to keep the illusion that I could have been Matty’s girlfriend. I am ready to get on with life.’
The sports-star-turned-marketing-executive added that while she ‘absolutely fell in love with Matty’ during filming, viewing the show as it aired pushed her to move on.
Elise reflected: ‘Watching the show has helped me get over it, I think.’
Trainwreck: The former Hockeyroo likened the rejection by Matty to a ‘car accident’
It comes after the reality TV stunner admitted to HIT FM’s Stav, Abby, & Matt with Osher that she was contractually bound to stay single after getting the boot from The Bachelor.
‘It’s actually been great taking the focus off getting back into the dating world,’ she told the radio show.
‘I went on a massive holiday, I went and saw friends, I got straight back into work and I’ve just worked on myself. So it’s been nice not even thinking about guys.’

Matty J finally declared his love for Laura on Thursday night, choosing her over Elise Stacy during the dramatic finale.
In a crushing blow, Matty delivered the bad news to Elise by telling her: ‘You are so worthy of being happy… ..and finding true love. But I’m so sorry… ..that it’s not with me.’
He continued: ‘Elise, you’re someone that I care about so much. And I know how hard this is. And I really hope you understand.’
