'It all went to my bum,' she added, before lamenting over the fact that the extra pounds didn't find their way to her breasts instead.

She also admitted that her face became much 'fuller' as the season progressed. 

Despite increasing her size, the blonde beauty confessed that Richie still made all the women on the show 'feel beautiful and comfortable.'

At this point, it's become common knowledge that weight gain is almost inevitable for the stars of The Bachelor. 

Alex's former co-star, Faith Williams, previously confessed that she became curvier on the show after eating too much food.

'I did put on a lot of weight from eating food I don't normally eat. And, there's a lot of downtime, so I found I was eating because I was bored,' the 26-year-old told TV Week magazine in August.

Season three winner Snezana Markoski also revealed that she added a whopping ten kilos to her frame during her time on the Network Ten series.

The stunning mother-of-one attributed her weight increase to eating plenty of chocolate in the house during filming, even at breakfast time. 

‘We had a box of chocolates in our room, which we’d wake up in the morning and eat!’ she revealed to TV Week.

However, she later dropped the pounds after following beau Sam Wood's popular fitness program.

Before Snezana, Sam Frost noticeably gained a considerable amount of weight as she vied for Blake Garvey's heart on season two of the show.

She slimmed down the following year for her stint on The Bachelorette, and has since been accused by fans online of taking her weight loss too far.
