Did The Bachelor's Heather give away the winner?

Rumours have been flying left, right and centre when it comes to The Bachelor Australia. But while most of them seem ridiculous, the latest is pretty… interesting.

Contestant Heather Maltman, who has been picked as one of the front runners during the series, made a statement on live radio that may have just given away the winner of the reality love show.

Maltman was speaking to Monty and Zoe on the 3pm pick-up on KIIS FM, when she said she had found a friend “as well as a partner” in Sam.

Her use of the word "partner" has led to speculation that her and Sam are in fact, an item.

Ohhh, the controversy.

The comment wasn't picked up by Monty and Zoe, yet fans are sure the actress has given away more than what she planned to.

“We did have a little bit of time just the two of us which was really nice,” Heather said.

“At the end of the day it shows we have an incredible friendship the two of us and that was a part of, I guess, my experience with Sam that I’ve enjoyed the most. The fact that I made an incredible friend as well as a partner," she continued.

KIIS FM’s Kyle and Jackie O are also convinced Heather is the winner of the series, after an interview with fellow contestant Snezana led them to believe she had not been in contact with Sam since the show ended. (You can read more about it here.)

Who do you think will win this series of The Bachelor?
