Laura 'in love' with Matty J

She's been picked as favourite to win Matty J's heart and now Laura Byrne has confessed the Bachelor definitely has her heart!

Having made it into the top four, the 30-year-old as revealed Matty's visit to her family and hometown sealed the deal for her.

"Absolutely," Laura told news.com.au when asked whether she was in love with him.

"It was definitely during the hometown visits, having him there with my family, that made it real. My family were so approving and so excited and accepting, and just instantly like 'this guy’s great!'"

Laura's admission will no doubt do nothing to stop the whispers that she has won the series, with Matty J this week forced to deny he was caught trying to sneak off on a romantic getaway with the jewellery designer.

After reports surfaced that Matty and the Georgia Love look-a-like were caught attempting to throw off paparazzi and meet up for a secret rendezvous, the 30-year-old reality star denied he was anywhere but at home while chatting to Nova 100’s Chrissie, Sam & Browny this week.

"Look I wasn’t at the snow, it was an old pic that was from a few weeks before but I was in Bondi the entire weekend. So I definitely wasn’t away that weekend," Matty told the radio trio when asked why he posted a photo to social media of himself at the snow, if he wasn't actually there.

When pushed by Chrissy on why Laura was supposedly "taken away with several car changes" if they weren't together Matty remained coy replying: "That’s a very good question. You would have to speak to Laura."

Touché Matty, touché.
