The Bachelor’s Nick Cummins poses with fans at the Deni Ute Muster

It’s claimed that Nick Cummins has already split with the winner of The Bachelor.

And on Friday, it appeared that the sportsman was single and ready to mingle as he attended the Deni Ute Muster in Deniliquin, in southern New South Wales. 

The 30-year-old was all smiles as he posed for photos with female fans at the event.  

Single and ready to mingle? The Bachelor’s Nick Cummins, 30, posed for photos with fans at the Deni Ute Muster in rural New South Wales on Friday, following claims he’s already split with the winner

In one photo, posted by Shannon Diedrich, Nick embraces the fan and makes a thumbs up gesture for the camera.

The former Wallaby player cut a casual figure in a charcoal button-up shirt, beige shorts and his signature tan fedora.

In another picture, Nick beams broadly while standing next to a petite brunette, named Tara, who appears to work at the event.

And at the end of the day, Tara claimed she understood why Cassandra Wood was quickly labelled a ‘stage-five clinger’.

‘Don’t blame Cass for being obsessed with Nick TBH met him for 10 mins and already in love [sic],’ Tara wrote.

With much excitement surrounding the show’s finale next week, Nick’s choice to attend the festival, alongside an estimated 20,000 other people, is very telling.

Last year’s Deni Ute Muster event featured naked mud dancing, gas-powered beer bongs and public spanking.

Unusual: This isn't naturally the environment you'd expect to find someone about to go public with the love of their life after months of hiding their apparent romance

It was previously claimed that after the show’s finale, Nick will be skipping the usual 48-hour promotional blitz which follows the romantic last episode.

Rather than joining the winner in making repeated declarations of their love to publications across Australia, Nick is believed to be on a 11-day Kokoda Tour.

If Nick fulfills his obligations to Australian Kokoda Tours, he will be in Papua New Guinea leading a group of outdoor enthusiasts on a challenging trek when the finale is expected to air.

The ‘Honey Badger Trek’ costs would-be adventurers $5,250 each, according to the event’s website, and takes place between October 1 and October 11.

The possible schedule clash was first noticed by eagle-eyed viewers on The Bachelor and Bachelorette Spoiler Fans Forum earlier this week.

If Nick is off the grid when the last episode airs, he could avoid some rather unflattering press coverage when it emerges he is no longer dating the show’s winner, believed to be Brittany Hockley.

Last Friday, a production source exclusively told Daily Mail Australia: ‘The Honey Badger’s relationship is already over. This is obviously not what we wanted.’
