The owner of the Central West business Alyson shared a photo with Richie to Facebook saying the handsome West Australian was "just as good looking in person."

"Guess who called in to see us today? Richie from the Bachelor," the Facebook post read.

"What a really nice guy. And for fans of the show, YES he is just as good looking in person. The Fat Lady blushed like a school girl meeting him."

Alyson told Be that Richie walked into the cafe with a regular and she was surprised to see the Bachelor standing right in front of her.

"I said to him 'Are you who I think you are?' and he said 'Probably,'" Alyson said.

Being a fan of the show, Alyson said that Richie even asked which girls were her favourites on the show.

"We did talk about the girls. I said I thought Nikki was the favourite and we talked about the yoga date with Keira. But I just said I like Nikki and obviously Alex is up there but I thought Faith is the dark horse. He didn't really say anything, he had a bit of a chuckle and a sly look but he certainly didn't give anything away."

And for all you wondering how he takes his coffee Alyson said, Richie likes a "double shot in his coffee and extra bacon on his bacon and egg roll. He really liked our bacon and egg roll, I've been told he'll be back."

Another Orange local told Be that he's also been seen doing all his grocery shopping at Woolworths.

"He's hanging out with a friend here and still doing work for his company from WA but out at Cadia Gold mine," the local resident said.

No doubt Richie has been keeping very tight-lipped about the woman who won his heart while on this trip!

The sighting in Orange comes as reports emerge that he and winner of the series have "tied the knot" in a secret ceremony.

According to NW Magazine Richie and his chosen lady have already wed in Bali.

Suggestions that the new couple may be engaged surfaced after Megan Marx, who walked out on Richie during a rose ceremony, said she wouldn't be keeping in touch with him out of respect for his "fiancé".

"I would say no [to meeting up with Richie], I am sure his girlfriend or fiancé, who knows, would not be happy with that," she told Sydney Morning Herald after her shocking exit from the show.

Ex-contestant Georgia Tripos also mentioned the f-word during a recent interview.

"I can't wait for him and his fiancé and me and my new boyfriend to go and have drinks together," she said.

The magazine is reporting that Richie has gone on several "secret work trips" as he struggles to remain tight-lipped about his lady love.

Hmm. Was the trip to Orange a distraction?!
