The Bachelorette’s Jarrod Woodgate cosies up to Bachelor star girlfriend Sam Royce and says he could easily be in isolation with her ‘forever’

Jarrod Woodgate has been loving every minute of being in isolation with his new girlfriend, Bachelor star Sam Royce.

The former Bachelorette runner-up has been with his new love in Darwin for the past two weeks, arriving before the Northern Territory closed their borders amid the coronavirus pandemic.

On Friday, he beamed with happiness as he cosied up to Sam for a loved up selfie which he shared on Instagram.

Earlier that day, Sam had shared a series of photos and videos on her Instagram of their exercise time out at a beach with her pet dog.

‘Appreciate days off with these two even more when I’m working all long weekend,’ she wrote in the caption.

She also thanked essential workers for working over the Easter Break and keeping the community safe.

This comes after Sam revealed that she was rushed to hospital after suffering horrific burns to her chest.

Jarrod and Sam made their relationship official last month. He was previously in a relationship with Keira Maguire after they met on Bachelor In Paradise back in 2018. 

Last week Sam shared details of her painful ordeal, as well as harrowing images of her burns and a selfie from her hospital bed.

‘So here’s a little story on why you shouldn’t play with boiling water and hot wax,’ the blonde began her post.

Sam explained that she’d accidentally poured 500ml of boiling water and hot wax all down her chest, after tipping a candle upside-down to read the label on the bottom. 

The incident took place at a home, as she wanted to go shopping for candles to place around her house in Darwin.

Tragically, Sam was hoping to make her house more appealing for Jarrod, who at the time was flying to Darwin to spend time in coronavirus lockdown with his girlfriend.

‘I’ve broken heaps of bones before and consider myself to have a fairly high pain threshold, but this was next level,’ she said. 

She spent one day in hospital before doctors told her to go home and recover.

‘Jarrod drove me to all my burns clinic appointments over the next 10 days and did so well to not throw up when the doctor peeled all the skin off my chest,’ Sam said. 

Finishing her post, Sam revealed that moisturises her scarred skin 5-6 times a day and she is now focussing on reducing her burn scars as much as possible.

Before meeting Jarrod, Sam appeared on Matt Agnew’s season of The Bachelor in 2019.
