The Bachelor UK is only two episodes in, yet it has already erupted into pure debauchery.
Previews for Channel 5's reboot of the hit American show promised some explosive drama, but we're not sure anyone was expecting the crap to hit the fan after just a single day in the villa. Have a look at the shocking brawl below:
Tensions ran high in Tuesday's episode following last night's very cringey kiss-gone-wrong for Lois, forcing the bachelorettes to rethink their approach with another rose ceremony looming.
The drama all started when Alex asked bachelorette Claudia to come away with him for a little alone time. Alicia was having none of it, so she gave viewers the first "Can I steal him for a minute?" of the series.
Claudia was obviously furious to have been interrupted, and after some riling up from the other bachelorettes, she waltzed back over… to steal Alex back for a minute!
"I feel like our conversation didn't end," Claudia interjected, then looked to Alicia: "So, if you don't mind?"
What to Read Next
The person most confused seemed to be Bachelor Alex — although admittedly it doesn't seem like it's too difficult to confuse him! But, it was over, right? Wrong…
While Claudia and Alex were chatting (again), tension boiled between Alicia and the other bachelorettes. The ladies felt Alicia was a hypocrite because she'd warned several of them not to interrupt her with The Bachelor earlier in the day.
Somehow, chaos erupted within seconds when Alicia got in Frankie's face, with Tara stepping between them to start a shoving match.
Alex stopped his chat with Claudia to race over and break up the brewing brawl between Alicia and Tara, thankfully before either woman got hurt.
The show cut to Alex literally rubbing his (presumably) throbbing temples, before complaining: "I've never been in a situation like this in all my life!"
Shhhh, nobody remind him he's supposed to propose to one of them in the finale! It was a wild scene, and viewers had lots of thoughts:
How do you follow a full-on brawl? With a rose ceremony, of course!
For some reason, Alicia and Tara both got roses but peaceful Claudia didn't. Now, that sends a positive message, doesn't it?
The Bachelor UK continues on Wednesday (March 6) at 10pm on Channel 5 as divisions continue to form in the house after the Cocktail Party from Hell. Plus, late arrivals show up Love Island-style.
