Elly and Becky Miles will make their big debut as Australia’s first duel Bachelorettes during Wednesday’s season finale.
And the sisters have certainly come a long way since their days growing up as country girls in Parkes, New South Wales.
Elly, 26, emerged from obscurity in 2019 when she was cast on Matt Agnew’s season of The Bachelor.

At the time, Elly was based in Newcastle and worked as a nurse.
She managed to charm astrophysicist Matt with her happy-go-lucky attitude, but failed to win his heart – placing fifth in the dating competition.
After finding fame Elly relocated to Sydney’s trendy beach-side suburb of Bondi and now enjoys a fruitful career as an Instagram influencer.

In November, Elly sparked romance rumours when she stepped out with Love Island star Adam Farrug at a fashion show in Brisbane.
However, their shared manager told Daily Mail Australia at the time that they were ‘just mates.’
It was around this time that Elly surfaced on dating app Bumble, confirming her single status.

Prior to becoming The Bachelorette, Elly also enjoyed a ‘casual romance’ with contestant, Newcastle rugby player Joe Woodbury.
Footage from the upcoming premiere shows Joe looking completely taken aback at realising Elly was The Bachelroette.
Outside of her nursing career, Elly is an animal lover who enjoys travel and adventure.

‘I’m looking for a man that is keen to keep up with my adventurous lifestyle,’ Elly said in an official statement in July.
‘I’d love to find a best mate who has a positive attitude, kind nature and who is motivated to be the best person they can be.’
Elly will select from 20 suitors alongside her older sister Becky, 30, who works as a defence contracting specialist.

Unlike her sister, Becky is new to the world of reality television.
‘I never thought I’d do anything like this, but Elly’s always pushed me outside of my comfort zone so with my sister by my side – I thought why not, let’s give it a crack at finding love,’ she said in July.
Like most siblings, the sisters have admitted that they weren’t close growing up.
‘She was the cooler older sister’: Like most siblings, the sisters have admitted that they weren’t close growing up – but have since put aside their differences and are closer than ever
‘She was the cooler older sister and I really just wanted to hang out with her and she was like ‘I don’t want this chubby little tomboy anywhere near me’,’ Elly told the Life Uncut podcast this week.
However, they have since put aside their differences and are closer than ever.
Becky is also an animal lover, and is the proud owner of a cross Havanese-poodle called Marti Miles.

While little is known about her dating history, Channel 10 has claimed Becky ‘recently had her heart broken’ by a former boyfriend.
According to her Facebook profile, Backy’s last relationship was in August 2019.
However, on Wednesday, Becky confessed to The Kyle And Jackie O Show that she had in fact been ‘seeing someone for a short period of time’ when producers came knocking.

Becky insisted it wasn’t difficult to dump her lover after being offered the role of The Bachelorette as their relationship was, as Kyle Sandilands described it, a ‘bang buddy’ situation.
‘I said to [my lover], ‘There’s this opportunity that’s come up with Elly for me. It’s a TV thing, a dating thing. Just to be clear with you, this is what I want to do.”
Despite Elly and Becky’s charms, rumours have been swirling that their suitors were actually ‘disappointed underwhelmed’ to be greeted by them on the red carpet.
‘The boys were really gutted’: Despite Elly and Becky’s charms, rumours have been swirling that their suitors were actually ‘disappointed underwhelmed’ to be greeted by them on the red carpet.
‘The boys were really gutted,’ a source told Woman’s Day magazine on Monday.
‘They really thought they had a celebrity and were somewhat underwhelmed with their choices,’ the insider added.
The report also claimed that several contestants were expecting to meet former Dancing with the Stars judge Sharna Burgess.
Frustrated: Back in July, Bachelor in Paradise star Mary Viturino (pictured) was one of many who called out the lack of diversity in the Australian version of the dating franchise
Elsewhere, Channel 10 has attracted criticism for its decision to cast two white women in a franchise already lacking ethnic diversity.
The likes of former Bachelor contestant Mary Viturino and Married At First Sight star Zoe Hendrix have both publicly lashed out at the casting, while calling for a woman of colour to be cast as the next Bachelorette.
