Is this the worst sponsored post of all time? The Bachelorette’s Frazer Neate is busted reading off his phone in a VERY awkward HelloFresh advert
The Bachelorette winner Frazer Neate is now promoting popular food delivery service HelloFresh.
But the 28-year-old concreter got caught in an embarrassing slip-up when he was seen reading from his iPhone in a sponsored post on Tuesday.
Frazer took to Instagram to demonstrate how easy it is ordering ingredients from HelloFresh, but he probably should have rehearsed his speech first.

‘I’ve just finished my order tonight so it comes ready for the weekend,’ Frazer said in a stilted voiceover while scrolling through the HelloFresh website.
He continued: ‘In my box I have Nan’s chicken and pesto dressing, Caribbean beef chilli with coconut rice and tomato mint salsa, baked chorizo…’
The video then cut to Frazer in his kitchen obviously reading a script from his iPhone.
There it is: The Instagram post showed him reading through the site, only for it then to cut away back to him while he was reading from his phone
For his part, Frazer seemed unfazed by the gaffe and swiftly concealed his phone.
He continued: ‘If you guys want to use my discount code, it’s Frazer90. Just use the swipe-up link and hopefully you guys enjoy the meals as much as I do.’
Frazer made no mention of his recent split from Elly Miles, which is unsurprising given that he was trolled over the break-up on Instagram last week.

Several fans said Frazer had made a big mistake by splitting with Elly, 25.
‘Elly is the best,’ commented one, while another added, ‘She has a great personally [sic]. I guess he misses out.’
‘He was never interested in Ellie [sic]. He was not physically attracted to her and it’s a shame,’ a third wrote.

One furious follower demanded that his blue tick be removed from Instagram, arguing that he isn’t famous enough to justify it.
‘Remove his blue [tick], he really is just a nobody,’ they commented.
Another remarked that Frazer had shown his ‘true colours’ by splitting from Elly just a month after The Bachelorette finale aired.

‘I honestly gave everything I had to that show and to him, and so for it to not work out, it’s pretty devastating,’ she sobbed.
‘It’s a bit of a quick turnaround I guess to go from thinking you found the person you wanna be with forever to being single again.

‘I know I’m gonna be fine though. I wasn’t happy for a little while there, and I know from my end I gave it absolutely everything I had.’
Elly choked back tears as she addressed rumours Frazer had cheated on her.
‘I know there’s a lot of allegations towards Frazer about cheating on me and stuff. Whether it’s true or not, I don’t know, that’s not the reason we broke up. He says it’s not true but f**k, who knows, honestly,’ she said.
