Ladies, we have some bitterly disappointing news concerning up-and-coming Bachelor Richie Strahan.

According New Idea, contestants from the upcoming The Bachelor series were left seriously unimpressed by the 31-year-old's lack of hygiene.
"He has a bit of a body odour issue. It became a regular talking point among the girls," the source revealed.
"No-one knew if he was aware of it, or if it was down to his nerves, but it was noticeable and was certainly a mood killer as far as romance goes."
The Perth rope technician reportedly left some of the ladies vying for his affections disappointed.
"He is a lovely guy, but that kind of boy-next-door cutesiness isn't attractive to a lot of girls," spilled the insider.
"Many of the confessed they wouldn't have applied for the show if they'd known Richie would be their prize, and a fair few expressed their desire to leave more than once."
HARSH MUCH?
We're pretty sure things could've been a lot worse for the contestants...
*coughs*
Richie first caught audience's attention on the first season of The Bachelorette, where he placed third in the race for Sam Frost's heart.
Of his own search for love, Richie says he wants to find someone who is "going to be my equal and push my boundaries as much as I push hers".
