The Bachelor's Sam Wood admits to cheating just hours before show airs

The TV car crash known as The Bachelor is set to air in just a few hours but Sam Wood is making sure he's dropping clangers right until the last minute.

The 34-year-old confessed to Kyle and Jackie O that he previously cheated…but only because he didn't realise they were serious. Listen to the video above.

And in the same interview, the kid's gym owner also revealed he pashed 90s TV star Tania Zaetta and she's a good kisser.

Well, nothing says "I am looking for The One" than recalling previous infidelities and bragging about kissing obscure C-list celebrities. Ahem.

So, what can we expect from tonight's opener? Basically, just 19 women desperately clamouring for the attention of one man, like a scene straight from the 1950s.

Oh and love. Let's not forget about that. They are all looking for real, long-lasting love that has nothing – we repeat, nothing – to do with being on a TV show watched by the nation. 

Watch the cringefest first episode of The Bachelor on Ten Network at 7.30pm.
