As the Bachelor, Matty Johnson was a perfect gentleman, but a persistent question as to whether he had slept with contestant Elora Murger threatened to undo his upstanding image.
It was even the subject of a special Mamamia investigation, performed by our own international Bachelor super fan, Zara McDonald.
Now, in his first post-Bachelor interview on KIIS FM the marketing manager was grilled by hosts Hughesy and Jackie O on what actually happened that night, addressing the rumour for the first time.
And guys, now we know once and for all he didn’t have sex with Elora – but he was tempted.
“Did I sleep with Elora? I did not, no,” Matty told Jackie and Hughesy, who was filling in for an unwell Kyle Sandilands.
Jackie prodded the reality star further, asking him, “Was it tempting?”
“Yeah, you know when you have a really great date with somebody and you know the option is there, it does enter your mind. But it was an easy decision to say no to that and to be in separate rooms.”
This is all while Laura is sitting right next to him, something that we can only imagine would be slightly awkward.
However, showcasing her laid-back personality, the jewellery designer said, “Well, she’s a babe and he’s a red hot blooded male so I would expect there was temptation there.”

Sex or not, he continued pashing on with the other women well after the point that even viewers could see his attraction to Laura and that he was probably picking her. That's always been the ickiest part of the show. Does anyone think that he genuinely hadn't made his decision until after all the final dates?
(Also a bit suspicious that Kyle happened to be absent on the day of the Bachelor interview after spouting off the previous day about his dislike of Matty J. Told to take a day off and leave the corporate cross-promotion duties to Hughesy?)
(Several radio presenters did not warm to Matty J and said so during the season, it was quite noticable... I hope they break from this pattern of using rejected Bachelorette contestants as Bachelors, reality shows live and die on their casting and I'm sure they can do better than just going with whoever Sophie Monk almost but doesn't quite pick...)
