Bachelor in Paradise SPOILER: Jackson Garlick is busted on Tinder after failing to find love… but he won’t have much luck thanks to social distancing rules
If you’re trying to avoid Bachelor in Paradise spoilers, look away now.
Jackson Garlick appears to be back on the market after failing to find love on the Fiji-based reality series, which airs on Channel 10 later this year.
The former rugby league player, 26, was spotted on dating app Tinder this week, which confirms he isn’t dating someone from on the show.

Bachelor in Paradise season three was filmed in November.
It had been scheduled to premiere in the coming weeks, but Channel 10 recently pushed it back until later in the year.
Jackson told Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday that the Tinder profile didn’t belong to him and was a ‘catfish’ account.
‘I’ve been sent screenshots of this profile on Tinder [before],’ he said. ‘Unfortunately for me, it’s a catfish.’

However, the Tinder bio does appear to match important details of Jackson’s life.
The profile states: ‘Playing rugby league, studying psychology and making a few pies here and there.’
Jackson is captain of the Glebe Dirty Reds rugby team, studies at UNSW and works for his family business, Garlo’s Pies.
The account doesn’t mention his reality TV fame, but it does include a link to his verified Instagram page, which has 35,300 followers.

Jackson appeared on Angie Kent’s season of The Bachelorette, but failed to receive a rose after hometown week.
He had previously applied to be on Georgia Love’s season of The Bachelorette when he was just 22.
Jackson told 10 Daily last year he had chosen The Bachelor franchise over other reality shows because of its higher success rate for lasting relationships.
Well-researched! The ‘catfish’ appeared to know a lot about the reality star – referencing his captaincy of the Glebe’s Dirty Reds rugby team, his studies at UNSW and his work at the family-owned business Garlo’s Pies
