'We really enjoyed watching it,' he revealed.

Drawing comparisons to his own stint on The Bachelorette, Matty added that the last episode of spin-off was a lot less emotionally wrought.

'The best part of Bachelor in Paradise is there is no heartbreak in the finale. The finale is just happiness and love,' he said.

The Bachelor In Paradise finale saw Jarrod Woodgate and Keira Maguire pair up, while Sam Cochrane and Tara Pavlovic became engaged on the show.

Matty, who eventually found love with Laura on the 2017 season of The Bachelor, also thanked former on-screen love Georgia for her honesty when she rejected him in favour of Lee Elliott.

The genetically blessed marketing manager said it allowed him to move on and have his own opportunity to find Ms Right while the cameras were rolling.

'For me, I'll always owe so much to the Bachelor series and franchise,' he said. 

'I'll always be forever grateful because I wouldn't have a girlfriend if it wasn't for her.'
