The Block 2022‘s controversial bidder Adrian Portelli‘s ex-fiancée, Anastasia Iliopoulos, is expected to appear on the latest season of The Bachelors.
ICYMI: The Bachelors is returning to the small screen with THREE new leads — Ben Waddell, Wesley Senna Cortes and Luke Bateman —despite its plummeting ratings and backlash.
For the first time ever, the 11th season will also set up shop in Melbourne after a longwinded romance with Sydney (and one season on the Gold Coast).
Now, a Channel 10 spy has dished to news outlets that Anastasia will not only get up close and personal with model Ben, but she is one of his finalists.
Love (and a blue tick) really does prevail!
The mother-of-one was previously in a long-term relationship with Adrian (A.K.A “Mr Lambo”) before their split in December 2022.
A friend close to Anastasia alleged that her breakup from Adrian was “very toxic”. However, “she is in a much happier place without him in her life”.
It was also recently revealed that Adrian is expecting a child with his new partner, whose identity has remained private.
Adrian Portelli is set to return to The Block in 2023
If you thought you’d seen the back of Adrian after last year’s “dummy bidder” drama — think again!
On May 25, the investor was spotted on The Block‘s set in Melbourne’s Hampton East.
According to the Herald Sun, this was because he’s set to feature in a “top-secret challenge” involving “prospective buyers of properties”.
Adrian took to social media to confirm his appearance in the upcoming season, sharing that he was ready to “shake things up.”
“I got an invite this year, think they know I’ve got the money to buy a house now so no more dummy bidding,” Adrian said in an Instagram Story.
Not only that, but he plans to bid on EVERY. SINGLE. HOUSE that’s up for sale on The Block this year.
