Brett Moore claims Bachelor in Paradise producers stitched him up

He claimed producers knew about his situation with Boulton and the plan all along was for Boulton to also join him in Paradise, where viewers could have the pleasure of watching their love blossom, while the pair would have the pleasure of being on a "paid" holiday, where they could "sip cocktails" with their reality TV mates while Ten picked up the tab.

Backing up her man, Boulton appeared on the Kyle and Jackie O Showon Tuesday morning to claim that the producers knew they were a couple from the outset.

"I actually got the phone call first to go on Paradise. I said no, they already knew about me and Brett. I said, 'No, me and Brett have been hanging out and it’s going well, why would I?'" she said.

"Ten minutes later Brett texted me and said he'd got a call from Bachelor in Paradise. I was like, 'I just told them no because of you.’ They were interested in him going on the show, so I texted back to [the producer] and said, 'you know me and Brett have been hanging out but it's an awesome opportunity, so I'm keen too.'"

She said he went on the island and "the whole thing blew up".

"I think they just wanted their first drama," Boulton added.

However, Warner Bros., the production company behind the show, has denied Moore and Boulton's chain of events.

"Being single and available to find love is a prerequisite for being on Bachelor in Paradise. Brett and Steph were originally contacted as individuals but said they were seeing each other, so we wished them the best and moved on," a Warner Bros. spokesperson told Fairfax Media.

"They both then separately contacted us saying they were now in a position to go on the show, we had no reason to doubt what they said was true.

"Once it was confirmed during filming that Brett and Stephanie were actually dating, Stephanie was no longer eligible for the show."
