Tayshia checks her phone, where people are tweeting about the show.

Walking through the room with a fierce strut, she picks up a single red rose from an elegant bouquet, and reads a magazine reporting on the show.

Tayshia sashays her way around the room in her lavish dress, before turning to the camera, her identity finally unveiled.

‘Were you expecting somebody else?’ she asks with a smile, before spinning around in circles.

Clare became engaged to Dale just four episodes into this season, and Tayshia was brought in as The Bachelorette.

A Bachelor franchise vet, Tayshia featured in season 23 of The Bachelor and the sixth season of Bachelor In Paradise, but ended both shows single.

The most recent episode of the show saw Tayshia making her grand entrance to the house, where the men waited to meet her following Clare’s departure.

Meanwhile, things are going well for Clare and Dale.

The couple were shown at home making lunch ‘outside the bubble’ of The Bachelorette.

‘You look so good,’ Dale said, as Clare held up her ring and asked, ‘Does this make me look even better?’

She faced the cameras. ‘Can you believe it, guys?’ she crowed. ‘I am engaged!’
