The moment Bachelorette Sophie Monk pulls away from Jarrod

He was the ‘stage five clinger’ who ended up broken-hearted when Sophie Monk brutally dumped him during The Bachelorette finale.

Despite the rejection, Jarrod Woodgate vowed he would ‘always love’ the blonde bombshell.

And in exclusive photos obtained by Daily Mail Australia, it appeared the vineyard owner was struggling to let go of what could have been as he confronted Sophie in a Sydney hotel ahead of the finale’s airing Thursday.

The reality show runner-up approached the former Bardot popstar in the hallway of a hotel where Sophie and winner Stu Laundy were staying.

Jarrod, whose own accommodation was directly across from the loved-up couple’s space, appeared to seize the opportunity to interact with Sophie. 

In a cringeworthy moment almost as excruciating as Jarrod’s brutal on-screen rejection, Sophie pulled away as the vineyard manager attempted to embrace her.

With a glass of what looked to be champagne in one hand and her free hand loosely touching Jarrod’s shoulder, Sophie visibly arched her back in what seemed to be an attempt to keep her distance.

Meanwhile, Jarrod embraced the Date Movie actress with both arms as he leaned forward and encroached on her personal space.

During the strained interaction, Jarrod couldn’t wipe the grin off his face as he stared into Sophie’s eyes, while The Bachelorette herself sported what looked to be a somewhat forced expression.

Throughout his Bachelorette journey, Jarrod was notorious for his keen pursuit of the blonde beauty but his heart was shattered in the finale when Sophie picked his love rival Stu.

After the brutal dumping, Jarrod was reduced to a blubbering mess, walking down the beach alone as he sobbed.

‘You know, I didn’t see that coming,’ he said about the devastation.

‘She’s the perfect girl. She was the girl I wanted to grow old with, have a family. Like, I’ll still always love Sophie. Like, that’s not gonna change. And yeah, it’s painful.’
