It was supposed to be a tender moment between Art Green and the woman who would soon be crowned the winner of The Bachelor NZ.
Instead, a koala called Happy Jay with troubled bowels stole the limelight during a date between Bachelor Green and winning Bachelorette Matilda Rice.
The pair were on a date at a wildlife sanctuary on Australia's Gold Coast during last night's finale when the incident occurred.
Rice, who went on to beat Dani Robinson in the show's finale, confessed her feelings for Green while holding the koala, telling him: "I know that you're the one I want to be with."
The pair tried to ignore the flatulent koala's farts, but couldn't when it started pooing on Rice.
