Nervous Natalie booted by the Bachelor

Natalie has left The Bachelor NZ.

She became a fan favourite with her down-to-earth attitude but Bachelor contestant Natalie couldn't keep her nerves under control around Art, leading to her eviction last night.

After an awkward one-on-one date two weeks ago, which ended after Nat had a minor meltdown over whether to kiss the bachelor or not, Art took her away from the group to try again.

But once again, Nat couldn't keep her cool and the intimate moment turned awkward.

We caught up with Natalie as she exits the competition.

Are you sad to have left The Bachelor NZ?
Yes and no. I'm gutted to be leaving but at the same time someone had to go, and unfortunately it happened to be me.

Did you enter the show expecting to find 'the one'?
I definitely was open to finding the one. If it turned out he was then AWESOME. If not, then no loss!

Is Art Green as nice as he seems?
Yes, he's a pretty cool, chill dude and he is very laid back and lovely. I enjoyed his company.

How did all the girls get along when the cameras weren't around? Was there any cattiness?
Not involving me!! I loved all the girls and wasn't involved with any drama. I try to avoid cattiness, not my scene.

Did anything happen on the show that you wish hadn't been cut for TV?
Mmm, not really everything I expected to go on TV did, both the good and the not so good. But I expected that!! It's a TV show!

Or did anything make it to air that you wish hadn't?
Mmm, no not really.

What's the best piece of behind-the-scenes goss you can give us?
Haha we used to rock out some crazy dance moves before the cocktail parties.
Also, one night some of the girls played a scary prank on us while we were watching a scary movie. Hung a doll out the kitchen window and did a few other things.

Have you found love since your time on The Bachelor?
No!!! Not yet!
