She’s the glamorous technical specialist tipped to be one of model Ben Waddell’s frontrunners on Ten’s new season of The Bachelors.
But it appears like things are going to end in heartbreak for Natalie Benson, who was pictured checking out of an Airbnb prior to the show’s finale.
Daily Mail has obtained exclusive photos of the 27-year-old looking downcast as she was spotted leaving her accommodation on July 31.
Natalie was spotted carrying a handbag filled with roses, a sign that she had just left the Bachelor mansion, not in triumph but tears.
According to the onlooker, who snapped the photos, Nat looked ‘visibly upset and exhausted’ and said she was ‘ready to go home’ when asked if she was moving into the apartment complex.

Season 10 finale starring Jed McIntosh, Felix Von Hofe and Thomas Malucelli had a five-city metro audience of just 358,000 viewers.
In its 2018 heyday, The Bachelor would draw almost a million metro viewers per episode.
Season 10 saw episodes regularly falling below 300,000.
While the trio are hoping to win the heart of one of the women vying for their attentions, the premiere episode did not win the hearts of audiences.
Angry viewers quickly took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to complain about the debut.
‘I have never seen three more mediocre men in my whole life,’ wrote one disappointed viewer.
‘You could find more attractive men at 4am on King street and that’s saying something,’ added another.
