FORMER Perth Hockeyroo Elise Stacy has had her heart broken after Matty J chose Laura Byrne in the finale of the 2017 season of The Bachelor Australia.

The finale, which took place in Thailand, involved a final date with Elise that included a boat trip and a swim on a secluded island.

Meanwhile, Matty J took Laura on a helicopter trip to an elephant sanctuary where they bathed an elephant that had been rescued from a cricus – before rafting down a river in the rain.

Elise did not hold back with her final thoughts on the show.

“I thought that it was special and I felt that it was and clearly it was a one-way street,” she said.

“I can’t speak for what he has with her and it’s obvioiusly something pretty good.

“I thought it was worth the risk.

“Right now, I’m confused as to whether it was worth it.

“I want to be in love with a man who loves me back.”

Elise spoke with Community News previously about how she had underestimated the personalities in the house throughout the show.
