BACHELORETTE Michelle Young’s scenes with the winner of her season were CUT as their connection was “so strong” it would “give away ending,” a source told The Sun.

The current ABC lead has locked lips with many of her suitors but her chemistry with one particular contestant was too steamy to fully air out to viewers.

One production insider exclusively told The Sun: “Producers have had to cut down so, so many of [Michelle and the winner’s] scenes because their connection is so strong, people would assume it's inevitable they end up together. 

“They cut out their first kiss and didn't air a lot of scenes that showed their strong connection. 

“And it's really strong and really genuine, probably the most genuine connection a lead has had on this show. 

“Even with their scenes scaled back, people can sense their chemistry. They seem like they'll be a couple who makes it.”

The source claimed that Michelle, 28, is still “happily” with the winner from her season and that they even watch the show together. 

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD! 

The insider explained: ”Michelle is still happily with Nayte and they're watching the show together.

“He’s come to Minnesota to see her and Michelle is actually very impressed with how Nayte's handling himself in the group. 

“A lot of times the leads get turned off when they watch how their partner was when they weren't around but for Nayte it's the opposite."

Though the show has aired the couple making out, the informant claimed their first kiss did not fully make it to air.

Famous Bachelor blogger, , has reported that Michelle and Nayte Olukoya, 27, are still engaged following his finale proposal.

The Canadian native left a strong first impression on the Minnesota schoolteacher as soon as he stepped out of the limo on night one.

Following her first cocktail party, Michelle gave her first impression rose to Nayte - making him the clear frontrunner early on.

Fans first met the elementary school teacher on Matt James' season of The Bachelor, where she almost made it all the way, ending her run as the runner-up and a fan favorite.

'BAD' BACHELOR?

Michelle's season was filmed at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa in Indian Well, California while the rest was filmed at the Marquette Hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Though fans had to wait months in order to see Michelle as the Bachelorette, her suitors' turn to become the Bachelor was a much quicker turnaround.

Prior to her season even beginning to air, the show announced that the next Bachelor will be Clayton Echard from Michelle's season.

However, many fans accused the ex footballer of being too "boring" to be the next star of after his lackluster impression on Michelle's season.

A lot of viewers are also comparing Clayton to former Bachelor Colton Underwood, also an aspiring NFL player, but not in the best way.

One fan wrote: "Clayton is giving Colton vibes so let's hope they are nothing alike lol."

A second claimed: "Clayton gives me Colton vibes, I said what I said."
