The new season of Bachelor in Paradise is set to premiere next week, on July 15.
And on Thursday, a new teaser clip for the show caused a bit of a stir when it revealed some of the items the stars packed in their suitcases.
Glenn Smith, who appeared on Angie Kent’s season of The Bachelorette, told fans that he was packing his own protection for Fiji, that became a joke in the Instagram comments.

‘To top it off, you have to be sun-protected,’ Glenn said, having described his outfits.
‘It’s a dog on a surfboard, get that out, maybe with a shirt off,’ he said about his quirky printed hat.
He added: ‘Sunscreen is a must, I’ll end up like a beetroot.’
