Bachelor Blake slams ex fiancée Sam

Bachelor Blake Garvey has slammed his ex fiancée Sam Frost during an appearance on Seven’s Sunrise with his new beau Louise Pillidge.

When Sunrise presenter Sam Armytage asked Blake “Sam and Lisa have said some nasty things. Is that just sour grapes?”

Blake, 31, responded “I think so.”

Blake of course famously called off his engagement with Sam just weeks after proposing to her on Ten’s The Bachelor. Since then Sam and fellow Bachelor contestant Lisa Hyde have formed a close bond and made no secret of their dislike of the handsome Blake and his new true love Louise Pillidge.

The baritone former Bachelor continued: “I think the difference between this year and last year is that last year there would have been people that would have felt uncomfortable. There would have been people that had the sour grapes, but no one put a microphone in front of them because it wasn’t [like] that. Tim and Anna were happy, they’d moved on and if [the other contestants] had done that, they would have just looked sour.”

“But in this instance, because of everything that happened. People for weeks and weeks afterwards are.. being heard and it’s being pushed everywhere cos they’re just saying ‘Let’s keep the drama going’.”

“The show’s over. These are real lives now. Enough.”

Blake has of course previously spoken to Woman’s Day, in this video where he told Sam and Lisa to “Stop the lies!”

Making things awkward on Sunrise, David Koch, aka Kochie asked if Blake had breathed a sigh of relief that he didn’t end up with Sam afterall.

Dodging the question though, Blake simply said “I’m very very happy with my decision.”

In addition to discussing their thoughts on Sam and Lisa, Blake and Louise also revealed how they are building a new life together. This follows on from when they exclusively told Woman’s Day: Our Love is real.

Louise also said that she had packed up her car and was moving to Perth to be with – quite the commitment! Louise said that yes, “It is – and I’m willing to make that”.

Blake also pointed out: “I did offer to go to Brisbane – it’s the least I can do.”

When Kochie asked if they were talking about marriage, Louise replied awkwardly:

“Not on the table at the moment.”
