Shocking twist rocks The Golden Bachelor: Show insider reveals why FIVE women were 'suddenly' kicked out the mansion


The 'brutal' cull has cast a shadow over what was meant to be a heartwarming journey for the show's leading man, widowed father-of-three and infrastructure engineer Barry 'Bear' Myrden.

Meanwhile, Nine breakfast TV stars Richard Wilkins and David Campbell have been spotted on the set, as producers hope celebrity guests will heighten viewer interest. The delay had some frustrated crew members complaining they were missing out on 'golden light' each day and suggesting whoever booked the mansion - and its inadequate parking lot - should get a 'golden handshake'. But while his career has flourished, sources close to Daily Mail Australia reveal that his personal journey has been marked by tragedy, as he lost his wife to a rare brain cancer in 2011.
