The Bachelorette SA contestant Justin Lakey answered questions about his personal life and experience on the reality TV dating show during an Instagram Story Q&A on Thursday.

The track and field specialist, who became a fan-favourite on the show with his easy-going nature, previously told Channel24 about his departure from the mansion: "It's a weird feeling of sadness but being happy with the fact that you've shared good experiences with this person, but now it has come to an end."

The 26-year-old has since found love and about the blossoming romance, said: "I was truly blessed to have met my girlfriend, Lee Tatchell. She wasn't fazed about the show or where I stood in the public eye."
