Is the Bachelor Nick Cummins dating again?

Nick Cummins may have been dubbed Australia’s ‘most hated man’ but the Bachelor star has found himself a new girlfriend according to reports.

The Sunday Telegraph in Australia reported Cummins is dating Lucy Steggles, from the wealthy Steggles family who made their money from chickens.

The pair have been friends for a while, but according to the Sunday Telegraph they fell in love while walking the Kokada Trail in Papua New Guinea  recently.

Cummins famously told the two Bachelor finalists Brittany Hockley and Sophie Tieman he wasn’t ready for a long term relationship, before sensationally dumping them both.

 He faced a backlash of criticism before going to ground in Papua New Guinea.

He recently said in an interview on The Project in Australia he could "avoid a whole lot of drama, for me for the girls, and just pick someone. Or I could just be honest.

"She'd be sitting here now. People would be asking if you're in love. And it's like, I didn't want to lie," he said.
