Approximately nine months ago, Australia fell in love with a British man in a leopard print necktie.

Our love was really cemented thanks to a bunch of grapes, and not a lot else, and our hearts broken when he left our lives (and Angie Kent's, but also... ours) on a very sad episode ofThe Bachelorette.

Months later, Ciarran Stott is about to reappear on our TV screens forBachelor in Paradise, sans neck tie, but once again covered by grapes, and we are just a bit excited.

This is everything we know about him, ahead of the show's premiere.

On Angie and Carlin.

Mamamiaspoke to Ciarran ahead ofParadise's premiere on Wednesday, and he said he was sad to hear about Angie Kent and Carlin Sterritt's recent breakup.

"I chat to Carlin every now and then but yeah, a bit sad for them," he said. "I wish them well with what they want to do."

Ciarran said he occasionally thought about his exit fromThe Bachelorettefollowing the death of his grandmother. At the time of his exit, he thought he could've been the one to make it to the end.

"But I didn't," he reflected, "So I can't really dwell on it anymore."

Instead, he was looking to have a bit of fun onBachelor in Paradise, "give it a crack and see what happens".

Bachelor in Paradise.

Ciarran told Manchester Evening News he was actually a bit worried about how Australia will react to hisBIPappearance, and uh oh...

"I don't regret anything but whenBachelor in Paradisecomes out, I probably won't get the best edit ever," he said.

"I think I'll go from the sweetheart of Australia to the bad boy of Australia so that won't be good.

"It's calledBachelor in Paradisebut I went on and it was like Ciarran in Paradise. Every girl took me on a date and I was absolutely loving it."

Ahead of Paradise's premiere this week,Mamamiaasked Ciarran why he thought Australia's perception of him may change. Did he act differently on Paradise? We received averycryptic answer.

"I wasn't different, I just feel like I brought a bit of the reality to the reality TV world," he said, describing his time filming as having both "ups and downs". Hmmm.

Ciarran said he initially thought the show would have moreLove Islandvibes, but learned it was more about looking for lasting love.

He said he mostly got along with everyone on the cast, and it was fun to hang out in Fiji with his mates.

The series' promos do seem to show how popular he was with the women, at least initially.

From what we can tell, he goes on a date with Abbie Chatfield, as well as Jessica Brody, who he then kisses in the rain. It is a lot.

Ciarran was somewhat thrown in the deep end from the beginning: His ex-girlfriend Renee Barrett (from Matt Agnew'sBachieseason) was also in Paradise, and it also doesn't look like his time on the show is going to go smoothly.

A short snippet shows the cast members sitting down at the dinner table one night and as the camera is focused on distressed-looking Ciarran, a female voiceover (as many times as we've listened we still can't tell who it is) says, "There's so much he's lied about. He's played everybody".

"If you want me to spill the beans, I'll spill the beans. And you're going to look like a piece of sh*t, not me," the unidentified female voice says.

Then Ciarran abruptly exits the dinner party and says, "I'm going".

Whoa.

At the end of 2019, there were lots of rumours he ended up with Kiki Morris from Richie Strahan’s season ofThe Bachelorafter the show. They were seen holding hands at a birthday celebration for Ciarran'sBachelorettemate Jackson Garlick and appeared in each other's (and Timm's) Instagram stories but that has stopped in recent months.

We don't know howBIPwill end for Ciarran, but he has said it works out very well for some of the contestants.

"If the paparazzi catch you out with someone off the show, you get in trouble. You have to hide behind closed doors, you want to do normal things but you feel as if you can't properly live your life," he toldManchester Evening News.

"You've got people in relationships from it who've had to hide it the whole time and it was filmed in like October/November."

'Fabulously British'.

Ciarran, 26, is originally from Bolton, in Manchester, England, and moved to Perth as a 12-year-old to live with his dad and step mum.

He later moved to Darwin, and was a rifleman in the army beforeThe Bachelorette.

Ciarran left the show despite being the favourite to win Angie's heart after finding out his grandmother had died.

In November following his exit, Ciarran toldMamamia he hadn't been watching the show because reliving the events of a few months earlier was pretty tough.

"Obviously [watching] it would bring back memories and emotions," he said. "I just watched a little bit then and it was pretty heartbreaking watching it, but it is what it is. I can't change what happened, it was a bit surreal."

The decision to leave was not an easy one for Ciarran, who thought about it over a number of days and believed he
