Bachelorette Elly Miles and Frazer Neate set pulses racing during photoshoot

The night before he made the bombshell admission to the other men that he had previously dated Bachelorette Elly Miles.

And on Thursday’s episode, Joe Woodbury seethed with jealousy as he watched the blonde beauty get hot and heavy with Frazer Neate during a racy photoshoot on Thursday’s episode.

‘This is the moment that’s kind of lighted that fire inside of me and realised that I do have real feelings for Elly,’ Joe admitted.

While the saucy scenes unravelled in front of him, Joe realised he had made a huge mistake during their previous dating history,

He said: ‘There was definitely a bit of romance. But I probably didn’t put in as much work as what I should of.

‘I think it’s made me realise that it’s time to step up my game and tell Elly how I feel at the next cocktail party.

Joe continued: ‘There’s no time for me to sit back on my heels’.

Meanwhile, Elly’s mining-inspired photoshoot with shirtless Frazer indeed sent temperatures soaring.

With their chemistry evident, the pair got up-close and personal as they posed for the cameras.

However, they just about managed to refrain from kissing in front of the other men.

Later during the rose ceremony, Joe stayed true to his earlier word and pulled Elly aside for a chat.

Immediately Elly reassured her concerned suitor and told him she was happy he was there.

Elly said: ‘I’m really comfortable being around Joey, obviously, because we know each other and we’ve had a little bit of history’.
