Self-described “princess” Emily has accused editors of The Bachelor of cutting out the hottest parts of her date with Sam on Wednesday night.

The ‘treasure hunt’ beach date involved stand-up paddle boarding, a now standard The Bachelor cheese and champagne picnic and according to Emily, more smooching than we were made privy to.

“So this date was literally amazing, so sorry you guys didn’t really get to see it!” wrote Emily on her Instagram account.

“As soon as I mastered the paddle boarding (needed to fall off first!!), we both ended up standing on one board, Sam kissed me, we both fell off the board, I clocked him on the head with my paddle as we fell, hilarious.

Emily says her reactions have been heavily edited, emphasising her “bitch face”.

“We then continued kissing in the water, so much so that I was freaking out that my parents, grandma etc would see it! (Kind of glad that wasn’t aired! Haha!).

“We then went to the next clue where we had coconuts to drink, and then walked over to where ‘X marks the spot’. We then went and played frisbee in the water, kissed some more, then back to the picnic rug for champagne, where we chatted for ages. Was so lovely.

“Very surprised that me coming back from my single date and talking to the girls wasn’t aired either… Oh well, this is my character for this season ‘villain, boring, princess, high maintenance’.”

Instead of a hot and heavy date, viewers on Wednesday night were treated to a rather subdued and frank discussion between Emily and Bachelor Sam about wanting marriage and children.

Emily admitted she had expected to be married by 28 and to have children by age 30, and couldn’t believe it hadn’t happened for her yet.

“I am really similar. The majority of my friends are engaged or married… I want something amazing and I’m not ready to settle,” Sam responded.

A spokesperson for The Bachelor said the footage of Sam and Emily getting it on was irrelevant to the rest of the episode.

“Many hours of content are filmed at each single date,” they told BuzzFeed.

“Emily and Sam kissing did not make the final edit as it ultimately did not change the storyline or outcome of the episode.”
