Matty J caught wearing an earpiece on The Bachelor

Only a couple of weeks ago Matty J insisted to all his prospective ladies that he was not “some puppet that’s just being told what to do”.

Well, are you sure about that Mr Bachie?

Because on Wednesday night’s episode of The Bachelor it seems good old Matty was wearing an earpiece.

In a clip from the show's rose ceremony the 31-year-old can be seen greeting Osher before turning to the side and revealing something bulging out of his ear.

An earpiece perhaps?

A representative from Channel Ten told the Daily Mail Australia that Matty is “occasionally required to be connected to the director if there are technical difficulties with cameras, audio and lighting.”

Apparently the earpiece was “only used during rose ceremonies and never when Matty was talking to contestants one-on-one,” the rep also told the publication.

Hmmm. Interesting.

Matty J booted Simone out of the Bachelor mansion during that rose ceremony after she told him he had a “nice bulge”.

But the Brit revealed to Be that she didn’t feel much in his downstairs region. Ouch!

“I couldn’t really feel anything!” she told Be. “I was like what’s happening down there? It wasn’t alive.”

Wow. That will definitely be a kick in the nuts (pun intended) for Matty’s ego and pride.
