He picked up a takeaway coffee, and was seen chatting on his phone while waiting for his ordered outside the café.

Ciarran then made his way back to his red sports car, which was parked on the street.

Sticking his head through the car window, Ciarran chatted to the women for a moment before returning to his own vehicle.

After climbing inside his car, he made his way to a physiotherapy appointment. 

On Monday’s episode of Bachelor in Paradise, Ciarran had a tense confrontation with his ex-girlfriend Renee Barrett, who had just arrived in Fiji.

After an awkward greeting at the group dinner party, the former couple then fell into an extended silence. 

‘It’s absolutely horrendous having my ex in Paradise right now. Yeah, it’s pretty tense between myself and Renee, you know,’ he acknowledged. 

Finally, Ciarran decided to take control of the situation by addressing the tension between himself and his 26-year-old ex.

‘Obviously we’re here to discuss, you know, myself and Renee. Everybody knows it. It’s not rocket science,’ he began, after previously admitting he’d cheated on her during their short-lived relationship.  

‘Erm, I think she’s a beautiful person. What I did to her was wrong, and I explained that the other night. I am sorry that is what I did to you. I shouldn’t have done it. 

‘It was a d**k move by myself. But I’ve owned it. And it was stupid. I shouldn’t have done it. I think you’re a beautiful person. You did nothing wrong. You did nothing to deserve that. And I am so sorry for hurting you the way I did.’

But his attempt at an apology did nothing to ease the tension, and the pair later had an emotionally-charged exchange on the beach.

Their heated discussion ended with Ciarran threatening to quit the reality show, before storming off in frustration. 

Despite striking up an on-screen romance with Jessica Brody in Paradise, their relationship doesn’t seem to go the distance.

On Thursday, Daily Mail Australia obtained exclusive photos of Ciarran in a rather compromising position outside fellow Paradise star Kiki Morris’ Sydney apartment.

The photos were taken in December last year, just weeks after filming wrapped in Fiji, and Ciarran was emerging from Kiki’s house wearing just a towel. 

Kiki, 32, who appeared on Richie Strahan’s season of The Bachelor in 2016, will soon debut on Paradise as an intruder.
